I know this can and will change, but when the time comes to choose a base/aircraft, I'd want to choose the one that at least presented the opportunity to upgrade and stay in the same place with the chance of it starting a relatively junior location as I'll home base at whatever the most junior is that fits these criteria.
With that, does one aircraft or base routinely get more flying hour opportunities per pilot than another? I understand you're will flying your brains out right now, but before corona, before you were having people poached, etc, was there a base out of the ones I listed or a different one that was known as a place for more flying? Thanks.

Both DEN and ORD aren't going anywhere for Skywest and are very junior on both the CRJ and ERJ, captain and FO.

I interviewed last September and got an April date. CRJ as well. I’ve been sitting on the waitlist with no luck. You’re seriously starting training less than a month after getting your CJO?

I saw a post on this back in 2014, but wanted to see if anyone had any updated info. Are CRJ's being spread out amongst the bases or does one base have mostly 200's where another base has the 700's and 900's? Which bases mostly fly the 7's and 9's is they aren't all spread out?

Anyone know how to sign up for the Active&Fit gym membership deal? Can't find it under benefits on SWOL or the Delta site
