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.

I've been told about SAPA and the internal representation but nothing in regards to an external representation. Thanks!

You’ve answered your own question.

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?

So SAPA is going to bat for you if the FAA/NTSB gets involved? I was told that SAPA only works as a moderator between you and the company, not you and the FAA. If you do not have legal representation through ALPA, are there other options that OO pilots utilize that provide legal counsel, not just another pilot that got elected for a position? I've seen the AOPA pilot protection services but it does not seem to offer much.

I’m new to APC so forgive me if this question has already been asked. Is the Denver base pretty junior? If not, how long until you could base there? Also, which type of flying is out of Den? ERJ CRJ? Thanks!

The website shows the most Junior FO in each base as well as the bases for the CRJ and ERJ. Denver has both.
