Airline Pilot Central Forums

I must be at a weird base or something because the most I have ever flown in a month at SkyWest is 72:02 block. Been here almost 4 years. And that includes a year of DMA as a FO.

When you hand out advice to someone looking for help I’d recommend to be more clear. It’s a simple answer. You need to call payroll if you’re a reserve. If you’re a line holder you can manually right click on an off day and apply your user time, or call payroll and have them take care of it.

This. Already tried the Sked+ method and it said it can't do it unless you're a lineholder.

Why use up your user bank on first year FO pay rates? Most wait until they’re leaving, which guarantee’s the highest pay out.

I have passed interview to SkyWest but I will have to travel to Europe a couple of times a year or my children will need to travel to me. So it is a really important point for me whether to accept SkyWest’s CJO or further try to get a position in one of AA WO to have such a benefit to travel trans-antlantic.

So AA WO= travel on AA at D2 priority. (6 D1 per year).. SkyWest = Travel on AA/UA/DL at bottom of priority list….

True. But way more options. Most my AA friends ask for a buddy pass on DL because AA is booked and thats the only travel they have..

forgot the Alaska side, and yes it is at the bottom of the list, but you can get ON.

UAL Express you can get on unless a UA doesn't use the vacation pass.

AA. AAC priority. better than a zedfare

DL is way better priority than all of the above.

Thanks for providing realistic data. You're probably not at a weird base. The more likely answer is the wildly inaccurate claims that populate this forum by a dozen or so people. If someone did not know anything about SkyWest and only read this forum, they would think that it is a terrible place to work and the worst regional airline in the world. Granted, I've only been here a short time but I've had a blast out there on trips, crews have been great, and I have not been "screwed" by CS yet. I'm sure they'll eventually do something I don't care for, but overall its been a very good experience so far.

Thank you guys. I’am kinda new to all this travel benefit stuff so grateful for any clarification.

So if a join OO then I will be eligible to travel reduced fare on AA, AU, DL, AS but the best chance to pick most critical for me transatlantic flight is by DL.

Any insights what could be this fare to any Eastern European destination on DL?
