No, but you can look at the Domicile Vacancy Report that comes out every month and try to get an idea. I can say if you’re ERJ, you’re most likely going to DEN, SLC, BOI, or ORD. It could change though.

Since there were a few slots to SLC and BOI, were the students in your class allowed to bid amongst yourselves for the SLC and BOI slots? Or did the company just randomly assign them?

Yeah, and the senior people in the class got those slots.

How junior do u think IAH will be for FOs? If I come to Skywest with 2000 hrs on the jet what do u think the timeline for upgrade would be?

Upgrade, best guess is 2 years (ERJ upgrade is 3 years atm, but that’s including COVID). You will have a nice advantage of already meeting the flight time requirements. The CRJ upgrade time prior to COVID was 1 year or less because most FO’s did not meet the minimum requirements to upgrade until 1.5 years in. The point I’m making, if it reaches 2 years, you will have FO’s who can hold upgrade seniority wise, but do not meet the minimum flight time requirements. So it could actually be quicker for you.

IAH shouldn’t take long to hold out of initial training, may be a few months. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know that seniority within your class could make a difference if more than one base is offered.

Latest CRJ Domicile Vacancy Report (DVR) was Back to the Future: ORD, DTW, MSP.

I was surprised. Thought things had changed for good.

That’s interesting. I guess time will tell with a few classes ahead of me.
