Default Skywest Captain slots in Ground School ?

I have a class date Jan 10th and have heard rumors of qualified pilots being awarded captain slots in DTW and ATL. I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the rumor or is it all smoke and mirrors ?

I have a class date coming up soon and was wondering if there were any truths about qualified pilots being awarded captain slots in ATL and DTW. Thanks

Yes it’s true. In two out of the last three awards, captain positions were awarded to new hires. In the last award, the most junior captain position was awarded to a pilot who was on property for less than two months.

It will continue.. Tell VH (if your CRJ SLC) when you get there that you have the time and interested.. (or DM im DEN). Full disclaimer you will get ATL or DTW.
