My friend said Skywest is slowly chipping away at the 200's and has a good amount (+\- half) of their fleet is 70-76 seaters now. Someone confirm these numbers?

Do you know what a 10-Q is? Skywest has already put one out for the 3rd quarter. You're a couple key strokes and mouse clicks away from confirming that information yourself.

It has been roughly that way for a couple years. Not to mention for a while they were buying 200s.

FWIW, Most junior CA award for the December upgrade class has a hire date of 10/03/2011.

Wow, SLC just went junior for CRJ FOs! Anyone see the December awards? Those guys must be a month out of training, if even that...

That tends to happen every now and then. 4 or 5 guys got it right out of training in my class.

The most junior CA at the company was in the August class. There won't be anyone junior to that until at least January. I wonder why the upgrades suddenly went so senior.

Well there were minimal upgrades the last few months. Back up to 32 this month by my count.

My *guess* is that when the captain upgrade bonanza came to a screeching halt a couple months back some guys looked around and decided to get in the left seat before the music came to a full stop.

Yup. I imagine we'll see it get down close to 3 years in the near future. Especially if we can continue to hire 80 to 100 per month.
