I don't know why we can't mix 200/700/900 in the same trip. I bet we could find some efficiencies and lower the airport appreciation hours. Getting swapped around as a reserve guy is allowed.

From: Former Airline Captain
I've heard from more senior folks that SkyWest used to mix trips up (at least between Delta and United). When delays on one side impacted the other side's flying, the "losing" side airline complained, and SkyWest stopped scheduling that way. It would make for some interesting trips! At least the cockpit crew does not have different uniforms like our cabin crew...

Quick question regarding training.
Did you guys bring a laptop to training for the 175?
If yes, did it work for Apple and Windows for those CBTs
Thanks

I've heard a few times the hangup here is flight attendant scheduling. One vs two required for different variants. I don't know how accurate this is nowadays because I've seen a pairing package where the fa's had their own pairings (they had some ten hour locals and twenty hour two days, think it was Seattle).

Question about pay.
I was wondering once I start flying on the line and get through IOE, what would like likely hood of getting paychecks netting at or above $1,300? From a quick calculation it would take at least 86 credit hours to hit that but if you add in time away from base, I'm guessing paychecks being over the $1300 are pretty likely?

Unless you're talking gross pay, you can do that easy. Your net won't be that way unless you pickup some time and a half

Yes you're correct, gross pay is what I am asking about. switched up the terms on accident. Right now I am grossing as a CFI average about $1300/pp. So take home is around $900. So at least I shouldn't be taking a step backwards in pay for the 1st year
