That's just a flat out lie. There are no 3.5 year captains. I'm over 3.5 years and I'm not even close to upgrade. I'd say I still have at least 3 or 4 months to go to hold the most junior base assuming they keep running classes which could stop at any time. They stopped upgrading for 2 months in Sept and Oct. The November class went very senior. No one under 4 years was awarded upgrade for the November class. The upgrade time has actually been INCREASING for most of the fall, not decreasing.

Attrition numbers
Did anyone else find it interesting that SAPA said on the call today that our attrition is only 28 per month average over the past 6 months? My numbers are 40 per month for April-Sept and MTD October has 36. Are they not including the pilots that wash out of training? Do they not keep their own numbers or are they just getting them from the company? I just thought it was a pretty large discrepancy. It would be awesome to have some time of formal communication where they would publish where people were going.

37 UA 700s were due to come off contract this year. According to the most recent 8-K there will be no reduction in SkyWest Airline's 65-76 seat CRJ fleet before Jan. 1st, 2016. Those 700s will continue flying, for now.

Does anyone know what just happend in ORD with seniority on the ERJ ( fo ) not sure about CPT? I just got bumped up along with everyone in my class about 7-8 spots seemingly overnight? Further any idea on how many lines are going to be issued for december? Threading the gap now on being on reserve. Blaahh

If you figure out the method behind the madness regarding lines be sure to pass it along. I haven't been able to figure out how they determine it no matter how I run the numbers. The last couple months look like anywhere between 76-82 to be guaranteed line holder. You can check the reserve list to see how many senior to you are bidding reserve, but that doesn't mean they will bid reserve for Dec.

The two worst days every month at SKW are:
The 9th: Lines come out for the next month. Click on PBS and you can see the lines before bidding opens.
The 20th: Well, we all know what happens on the 20th (or the 18th or 19th, which is when the bids seem to be coming out these days). If there's one thing that gives me heartburn, it's opening up that Line 'Award' for the first time...
