Hey folks,

Skywest is by no means my first pick, but an Atlanta base would make it worthwhile. I have read post here eluding to a need for 66 pilots in ATL in January. Has management announced an Atlanta base yet? It's not listed on the careers section of the website?

Is this just a TDY situation? Is the base a temp just to cover the XJT implosion?

Help and snark welcome in equal parts.

It's real and it is now. If you have previous 121 time ATL Captain will be almost immediate.

Leaving 9e already?

Options my friend. Options.

It’s already open my dude. Come on over. The water’s warm.

I am concerned it may not be a permanent base. The fact that the company does not have it listed on their website as a base is a big clue.

Is the base a temporary measure to cover flying while XJT implodes quicker than planned?

It’s not listed because it’s brand new. Pretty big growth projected there in the next few months.

Why it's not listed?
It's right there with the rest of them:
Most junior CA was hired 10-16-2017 aka first street hired/direct entry captain.

Ha! That is heelarious. I just checked that site yesterday. It was a list and Atlanta was not on it. Thanks for the update!!

No regional bases are permanent (except maybe west coast UAL bases and SLC).

ATL opened, closed, and opened again during my tenure.
