I'm hearing that SkyWest is currently experiencing a meltdown across their system due to server outages and it has, or could lead to, a complete grounding. Can anyone confirm?

80 flights just canceled within the last 15 minutes. Everything is down. Check flightaware. No planes up and #1 in cancelations and delays.

I might be willing. PM Sent

Question Waitlisted...

Long time listener first time caller!

Interviewed on the 18th and got the call with a CJO on the 22nd. Excited to be joining the team! I received ERJ class date of April 26th. I only choose ERJ because it had an earlier class date. CRJ earliest class was May 17th. Both equipment seem to be pretty junior for MSP base which is what I want so I chose the earliest class date. I was informed that I could be waitlisted for an earlier class. I have just a couple more hour requirements to finish up for ATP mins. The recruiter said that I could swap to CRJ if it had a shorter waitlist once I have my mins completed.

Question to the hive is are new hires actually being pulled from the waitlists? Are we having a lot of no shows to classes or people dropping? I am just curious as to what the chances of actually getting into a sooner class would be by being on the waitlist.

Overall the interview process was great and look forward to flying with you all!

Not too many are dropping classes.
Don’t expect a call, but if one does actually reach your phone, you should plan on being ready to get on a flight the next day.

Several ppl in this thread (including myself) have successfully been pulled from the waitlist. It seems to be how communicative your recruiter is. Most of us asked and within a week were bumped up. Most of the ones who havent gotten an earlier one seems to be from the recruiter not being very responsive. But quite a few people have jumped ship for other airlines because of earlier class dates. And also people getting move to other class dates has created openings as well so there is definitely movement happening regarding the waitlist.

Assuming one is qualified (approximately within 3-5 months of reaching mins) then after applying the wait for an interview invite ranges from 1-7 business days. Following the interview, a call with a CJO usually comes within 1-5 business days. In other words, sometimes the answer is same day, sometimes up to a week delay. A lot of it depends on when your app hits the queue.

Default CA Upgrade Rqmts

Will someone share the current hours guidance to be eligible for CA upgrade? More specifically part 121 time needed with SkyWest. I guess also a first year monthly flying average guess for 2022.
Thanks in advance
