With how short we are there's not a lot of difference for how senior a base is to just transfer to anymore. You can get anywhere pretty quick. There's a pretty big difference on where you'll hold a line the quickest as a new hire though.

In your Skywest career, you are more likely to encounter an actual griffin at FL390 (er...make that FL350 for us RJ chaps) than you are to actually ever be able to 'drop' a trip.
I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's managed to actually drop a trip in the past few years. (Management pilots don't count.)

Reserve levels seem to be up across the board. Let's see what that does for PBS and our ability to do anything with our trips. I still don't think the reserve levels are high enough to meet minimum daily.

Things like this are what helps drive my belief that our QOL is the last thing anyone cares about.

I just got a little pop-up type postcard in the mail from Skywest trying to recruit me. I've been at Trans States for nearly a decade now and have never applied to SkyWest or ExpressJet in the past. Getting desperate over there? I know everyone is coming up short but honestly what's next, cold calls?
