Junior FO in SFO on the ERJ. RSV for a very long while with no time frame to hold a line.

I have averaged around 20 hrs block per month.

New hire on the ERJ is going to sit RSV for a long time, as all the more senior guy's transition in when they know they can hold a line.

It's actually a extremely small amount of FOs transitioning to ERJ that aren't on it already. The last year and a bit has been mostly new hires. People that were here before that are nearing upgrade and typically want to upgrade on the plane they are on, furthermore ERJ upgrade has gone senior (because of traditionally senior bases opening for ERJ). Everyone warned people wanting the ERJ that they'd be reserve for a while if they wanted a traditionally senior CRJ base like San Fran (people snuck in when it was just opening and people were unsure of pairings). The FOs that transition usually have no choice I.e. Bro guys or people that are snipe in bases that are losing the CRJ to be replaced by ERJ.

If you come to Skywest to fly CRJ right now is the choice, but given what will probably happen this year (175 growth) that may change. There's a reason we have 70% reserve on CA in Chicago and 100% on FOcfor 175

But you were going to fly 100 hours per month and be at the majors in 2 years or less? What happened to that great plan? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

Edit: if you aren't JB22, then disregard.

Lol that was Jb22... Unless jbone22 and jb22 are the same person......

Two junior OO FOs with those handles? I suppose it's possible. In which case, my apologies to JBone22. Carry on !

Stock went down to just under $16, any ideas why?

JB22

I will still be there. And you'll be at a regional flailing as the majors ignore your calls for help.

Too funny! Disregarding.

Two totally different peeps.
Maybe I need change my screen name.....

Lately the market in general, and trannies and airlines in particular have all taken a big hit. Unlike RJET, Skywest doesn't have solvency issues so the stock should rebound. Million dollar question of course is when to buy. Personally I think the market still has some more to drop. Take my financial advice with a grain of salt because I'm usually wrong.

Caution Terrain

I just want to congratulate everyone on avoiding the obvious troll. Learning has occurred.
