Interesting. What drove the ERJ move for your situation?

A little off topic .... need some help with acronyms. What's OO? I assume IOE is a line checkride but I don't understand why people are waiting so long from sim to IOE. Any insights there?

OO is the IATA code for SkyWest. Every airline has a weird 2 digit code that everyone references on here for brevity.

All IOE trips have to be flown with a Line Check Airman. Usually 25-40 hours and then a line check. The issue right now is LCAs are all leaving for greener pastures, along with everyone else.

IOE stands for initial operating experience, which is when you start flying the real plane. LOE is your checkride in the sim at the end of sim training before IOE. There’s a long wait between LOE and IOE cause SkyWest is losing a lot of Line Check Airman to major airlines and there’s a backlog of people waiting to fly with only so many LCA

That helps explain the timing of it all. I'm guessing these guys are getting compensated training pay for the wait?

Full reserve pay starting after LOE

Hi all,

Quick question. For our background PRIA/PRD do I include all the part 61 schools I was an instructor at. I have instructed quite a bit over the years as an independent contractor. Started at ATP and many others after. I was never employed but sure felt like it ATP, Not sure since PRD says part 1212, 135 and 91k? Don’t want to look like I’m hiding anything but don’t want them not to get responses from these guys. Anyone recently fill out these forms recently with skywest?

PRIA applies to air carriers. Flight schools (even 141) are not air carriers. Most flight schools don’t even respond to PRIA requests.

I have an April 19th training date for the CRJ. I received an email recently saying the training would be in person and would that I would be getting more information soon. Anyone else here have that date? I'm wondering how soon before I hear about drug testing and other on boarding information. I reached out to my recruiter this morning.

I think the email that said ATP/CTP would be held in conjunction with class came out on in early January. Like you said the email said more info coming soon but nothing else has been sent out. When I agreed to the CJO, the recruiter also said that 3 months prior to class, to look for very important onboarding items that need to be completed, like drug testing, but that email or task list has not arrived and I am well within 90 days as well.

I reached out to my recruiter on email and the phone about the drug testing and other items, but it’s been two weeks and nothing but crickets. I know they are busy, but it kind of feels like we out here without anything to go by. I am still sticking it out, but I have been starting to explore other employment opportunities. I am just looking for relatively decent communications, but it doesn’t seem to be happening and that concerns me about a future employer.
