Hey guys, I'm heavily leaning SkyWest and would prefer to be CRJ, Are SkyWest trips type exclusive? for example choosing to fly the CRJ will you be assigned trips on all variants?(200/700/900). Or just solely

At my interview we were told you would never fly the 200 and 700/900 on the same day.

Although the actual amount of flying you do on any given variant will be highly dependent on what domicile you are in. (Ex. IAH is exclusively 700 flying)

So sfo is a very short reserve. How many 5 or 4 day trips out of Sfo.
I live in Sfo so that would be perfect for me but I am dreading reserve, you to fly for mesa and I was on ready reserve 4 times a week. And when I had am reserve they would automatically move me around and give me pm reserve

That's right, in training it's back to bunking up with some other guy for about 2 months. If you go to ATL it's literally the same room.
Enjoy your "first class" career!

They got us in a really nice 2 bedroom 2 bathroom suite here at CVG. SLC wasn't that bad though... Give me a break...

Strong words from our SAPA VP regarding our horrible schedules. This is the stuff I am sure goes on behind the scenes all the time but it is great to get a glimpse of what they try to do for us.
Imagine if DL and UA put as much thought into what flying would make good schedules vs who could do it cheaper. It would be interesting to see what could be done by consolidating the flying for each carrier to specific bases. Good thing I am just a dumb pilot and don't need to make those hard decisions.

Didn't realize they were still doing that. But if I had a choice between a single room or $30/hour when I went through I would have taken the money.
