Now you guys that work in recruiting sing a different tune, but I guess that's to be expected.

Tell me, do your job duties include posting on this website or do you just do it for free? (and for those new to the thread envy us is not a pilot)
Yes, planes come, planes go. Maybe there will be a reduction in CRJ200s in the near future. Maybe there wont. The only 50-seaters Inc has said they are glad to get rid of are ExpressJet's E-145s. But seeing as how United is scoped out on large RJs and Delta is nearly there as well...how can they even begin to offer a 2-for-1 swap with 50-seaters to begin with? Class dismissed.

Right on.
Planning and setting yourself up for success doesn't equate success but often a necessary first step.

Default $30/hr wage...

Does anyone know if the increase to $30/hr for first year pay affected the number of applications Skywest has received? Any idea if mgmt will go to $36.50 sooner then later?

What can I say, I gotta feed my family.

Curious what you guys are flying out of KPSP these days. I think the 120's are gone aren't they? Maybe not.
Thanks

Maybe someone that is involved with training can answer your question. Rank and file folks don't get any of that info. All we get is Kool-Aid cheering rah rah we are hiring a ton of pilots!! During the pay package, we were told we didn't need the $30 because we were already hiring a ton of people and there was no shortage. I don't think we will see anything above $30 until someone else out there does it, or we can't fill classes.

Base only has about 50 pilots on the RJ, but that is more than we had at the beginning of the year with RJ and EMB combined. Not sure what the trips are like (majority 4 days like every other base?) but 2/15 hire is the plug.

Idk, maybe because this is airline PILOT central? I certainly view information from recruiters as one sided propaganda, don't you?

You hit the line or reserve when you are done with IOE, however long that is running right now.
Wait until Nov or Dec? What do you know about Oct classes? How many people go through a 175 class at a time, and how often do they run anyway? 2 classes/month? And do you go straight from sims to IOE or is there a long wait? I saw some other post about a long wait, but I wasn't sure if that applied to initial hires, or if that was for Captain IOE?
Thanks for the tip.

Falcon,

The last email I received stated that anyone interviewing now would most likely be waiting until A minimum of November to possibly January to get a 175 class.

That is Due to the number of sims available, upgrades, transitions, and new hires.

That is also dependent on having the option to choose airframe.....

Not sure if applicants are still given a choice right now.
