SkedPlus question. Does anyone know how to request vacation/gold days on a mobile device?

Tap and hold on the day, then quickly tap on desired heading.

Ideal would be no commute to the types of trips you want, at the highest pay your representative body can negotiate.

Very helpful post, thanks.

Generic Question - Is Skywest ideal for a JAX commuter?

Well, the CRJ base at ATL is the only OO base anywhere near Jacksonville. It's not particularly senior nor is it particularly small, but it's the only choice anywhere close to Jax. The next closest would I guess be either Texas or Detroit. From my limited experience, getting into and out of ATL can be a pain. The non-rev lists tend to be huge on Delta in general and into ATL in particular, though I haven't looked specifically at Jacksonville. Just in general that part of the country is covered more by other regionals. SkyWest is a great company, but I wouldn't call it the ideal commute from the East Coast.

There's literally no reason why you should work for SkyWest over Endeavor or Republic.

Trust me, SkyWest isnt bad, but for you, when you add up geography with pay, benefits and most everything else, SkyWest just isnt the right choice-unless of course you think you want to move to Boise, or Salt Lake, or San Diego or something.

I doubt anyone on this board knows the answer to that question.

Very helpful, thanks, I was aiming for Endeavor but after seeing the Skywest growth and ATL as a base it seemed like a contender, I'm shifting to pursue the 2 mentioned, Republic and Endeavor, thank you again, when looking in from the outside there is a maze of info to sort through, I appreciate the input.

According to the rumors here, don't put too much weight into that OO Atlanta base...

The only way that’s gonna happen is if endeavor vacates Minneapolis and part of Detroit.
I hardly think that will happen.
99% of the time rumors on APC are just that.

FWIW, these are rumors from MSP, not from APC.
