I'm not sure if I'm missing the sarcasm here. The training center will open in July for CQ. Everyone scheduled for April, May, and June, will need to attend. I'd imagine July will be pushed to August.

Yep, I just meant it’s good to see things finally happening again.

I think there are a lot of people who were in the training pipeline (CJO and training date) who are desperately looking for information as to when they may expect to begin training (if ever)...assuming the CJO isn’t eventually pulled. Later this year? Next year? Who knows. Because direct information is limited, we are piecing together bits of data and hearsay from forums like this in order to get an idea of when we MAY head to the airline. Probably not the best idea to search APC for answers but oh well...

It’s a wonderful thought and I wish. I am making more on unemployment then training pay, but I’d rather be strapped in. Have much to stay busy with and thank god for a good marriage.... Which now gets tested rather frequently. Ufff.

I did nail a full beard (first ever) and I’m doing well spending my 600/week in Pelosi bucks. New depth finder. Four-stroke weed whip. Also found it’s dangerously easy to start day drinking... I completely get Michael Keaton in Mr Mom.

I'm one of those people desperately looking for information about training. I was supposed to start the first week of June and would have probably been in CTP/ATP right now. So far I have not received one single email from the company since the "everything is canceled" email I got back in mid March. I'd love to just be able to know anything that is going on. If I will be working for SkyWest at all in the next six months, ugh.

Well for you guys on the outside looking in, it's very similar for many that work here. Only about 40% of the block hours for next month compared to last year. A lot of that will probably get cancelled. Some aircraft fly more than others and same with different domiciles. Some have an Ok amount of work, some nearly nothing. IAH I don't think has any flying. DTW and MSP greatly reduced. Almost no flying there. 1 line for every 15 pilots. Only 17 lines of flying for SLC CRJ CA with 135 CAs bidding. The 175 in SLC is doing the flying, yet still has 40% reserve coverage.

Thanks for that insight. And thanks for keeping it all going. I now realize the pangs of envy seeing an overhead skywest crj are foolish on my part.

Time passes. Give a couple years and you'll be complaining about 90+ credit hour lines every month.

yeah - I remember RG acknowledging that people have little opportunity to get time off in 2013 and that the company is working on it

I guess it was finally taken care off.

So was it SkyWest management or SAPA that created the virus in a lab?
