Just saying that a 20 year Skywest Captain makes about what a senior E-6 is making during that 6 month deployment, assuming hostile fire/combat zone tax exclusion/fam sep etc. pays and excluding anything like jump/flight/dive/other specialty pays.

Come-on man, LOL...

This isn’t the Military….. just say’in

Seriously. The pay and the benefits here are worse.

Cool story bro. We aren’t talking about the military here.

Atlanta base 3.0?
 

Heard some rumors that Atlanta base might be on the horizon for SkyWest, again. Capacity issues are hitting all the regionals but heard from an Endeavor pilot that they are challenged with staffing. Heard from someone else internally at OO that Delta is looking at it. I'm aware that OO is focused on the west for Delta and there are a lot pieces moving around even more than usual right now. Just wanted to see if anyone else is hearing anything. Remember to not steal an Aha from your FA.

I wish but, I highly doubt it.

It would make my QOL so easy, I could care less about the trips if I didn't have to commute. But we will see. I also heard the same. All we can do is wait. I saw someone saying some stuff about big news coming in the next couple weeks.

But like everything, nothing is set in stone until it happens.

The monthly vacancy has 64 175 upgrades available, compared to 45 on the CRJ, total 109 for November. Is this officially the first time more ERJ upgrades are available than CRJ? First time I’ve seen it.

Has the initial turn begun towards faster movement on the ERJ? It sure looks like it. CRJ will still be the quicker upgrade, but the ERJ will inch closer and closer each month. Two years ago I’d never had guessed. Good stuff.

Pretty sure ERJ had more last month as well. I went back and forth with VD a month or so ago and she said to expect less CRJ upgrades through the remainder of this year as they are running more CRJ newhire classes. Only a finite amount of sim time available..
