As the virus spreads it is time we add gloves to our uniform. White with fringe.

Seriously though, lots of transfers out of LGA and no awards if I'm reading the awards right.
It's closing you know right? They're gonna let it shrink.

I know. Announced after my post. And the inside joke may have been missed by most.

Default have some Qs

Good evening ladies gentlemen,

I am shopping for a regional. 1550TT. 680 turbine, with 200 some odd of it being 135 PIC. Have some Q’s.

How far out are class dates? Are you still sharing hotel rooms during training? (From what I understand they’re 2 separate rooms, in a room, not like your standard double queen)??

How is the pilot group and morale at SkyWest?

How does management handle it if you miss a commute? How many times will they allow it before you get shown the door?

How long did it take to start being able to pick trips you wanted/actually liked?

i understand these are loaded questions that may yield some very different answers. Just trying to get a general idea.

Need to know where you live or if you are willing to move into base. That is the most important thing on QOL.

Morale... only 1/6-1/3 even votes on sapa stuff. People don't get involved. But you don't hear much complaining. Pay check never bonuses, solid growth over the last 40+ years. Every once and a while you get hosed. (Like bypasses for class for a month or 2, but pay protected) I know one guy that is at 36 days, company average is 6.8 a year.. hard to tell. We don't have a hard number like some airlines. Thats good and bad. Good that they will work with you. Bad that you don’t know what the number is... Class dates?? CPT is now all outsourced. So Class sizes have increased. ERJ has a class of 60 coming up this month. And the CRJ runs 64 twice a month now.. Most guys at the bottom move up 80 a month.. best advice. Move close to base.. make a adventure out of it for your family... .. good luck.

How much sim time are people getting in CPT now that they've outsourced it?

Yep. All remains the same. I've heard of people doing it in various aircraft (A320, MD80, etc.) rather than the type of aircraft you will be flying for SkyWest.

Instructors are taking bets on how long the outsourcing lasts, apparently it's leaving something to be desired. It's hearsay nonetheless.

the CPT instructors are upset. That was a good gig. 12hrs credit a day doing double sims, no commute. Jr CA’s and FO’s that live in SLC/DEN but based elsewhere... it will last. OO needs every second of sim time for the students. CPT sucked up 4 sessions per student that could be used to MP/Loft..
