Have you ever looked at the admin directory? Seems like half the company works a 4 day week.

No joke on this I agree! So many folks on 4 day work weeks. And no one calls me back when I leave a message. Such a pain.

What happened though? What caused the reserve rules to go downhill?

Staffing. People don't like to work at Skywest they want to credit like 75 hrs and be at home more. So everyone is complaining.

The reserve rules are really basic. 3 types reserve shortcall vs long call vs ready. Ready is like a 30 minute call time but you can only be on ready for 4 hrs or something like that, shortcall is 2 hr call out in shifts of 12 hrs. 4am to 4pm or 9 to 9. Then long call is a 12 hr call out available 24hrs a day for 4 days at a time.

At the end of your shift you're done. You don't have to call in for release like at some airlines. There is very little variables. You have your schedule of when your on call and when your not. It doesn't change (for the most part, long call can be changed a few times a month)

But really people just don't like being on call.

Thanks for the info. Is it a mix of long/short/ready at skywest?

can anyone give me a break down of everything about the company that should make me want to come to sky.

I have read these forums everyday for a long time but I am sure I have missed some of the important.

I am looking at another option also but i want to be sure that i make the right choice.

Your responses will truly be appreciated.

Mondo sized classes, all the other quick upgrades have set sail. $30 an hour and falling upgrade times. Easier than ever to get hired, people that previously had no chance are getting the nod. Things are awesome bruh. Come and get sum. I know someone not even done with IOE that have more than 300 below his number. Join da party. Bring yer own Sprite.
