Airline Pilot Central Forums

Trying to decide my future with the regionals but looking to get a straight answer about a worst-case scenario event. Say god forbid I got into an incident/accident that required legal representation at OO, with OO not having ALPA protection, is there a particular company that y'all use for pilot insurance that would cover you if the FAA came knocking? I've been told about SAPA and the internal representation but nothing in regards to an external representation. Thanks!

You will receive your KCM badge along with your crew badge. Don’t do an observation flight if you only have a couple days off. Had a friend who did it and was really, really, very close to not making it back for class.

Badges/CASS/KCM come directly after GS, correct?

For sure. I’m just talking a quick same day DEN>SLC turn or something similar (assuming no forecasted bomb cyclone approaching).

Does a pilot going back to skywest get to keep their old seniority or do they go back to the bottom of the list?

Same number, bottom of the list for pilot seniority.
There was something called soft-landings where you kept pay-rate? Not sure if that’s still a thing.

Thanks, can anyone give a little more insight as to what we do in Groundschool? What are the topics covered, what do the days look like, etc?
