Long time lurker, first time poster.

I was just curious about a/c assignments: I have time and type in E 175 and saw that Skywest was giving out bonuses for those currently qualified on the embraer and crj. Does that mean I could expect to be placed in the E175 for initial training, or is it need/staffing based? Obviously, I'd prefer to stick with what I know since I'm old and lazy.

Thanks.

Most likely yes...

You'd probably get FAT after a few months. The most junior guy there now was hired in April 2015. And looks like only 1-2 pilots ahead of you want FAT as their first choice. If not, you could probably get SFO or something out west sooner.

They let you put in a request for equipment. If you have a type in the E175 I'd expect them to let you have that airplane with the bonus. The E175 has less domiciles than the CRJ. Make sure it has one that you want.

Hi all, has anyone else here been assigned the ERJ initial class on 11/12? If so, have you received any study material, confirmation, etc.? I was assigned a tentative slot and looking to get an idea if the class may had filled already. Would we even hear anything at all, this soon? The silence is deafening Thanks in advance..
