I'm smelling bull****.... If it were that easy every single CEO would be begging the majors to do the same thing.

When you select SkyWest and view their hiring mins, it says 1500 TT and 200 cross country. Is that reduced for the reduced ATP mins? I did not attend an accredited University so I would need 500 cross country correct?

No. Anyone is eligible for a RATP (under age 23, less than 500xc). The accredited university gets you the lower TT.

Allegiant? I thought you said you wanted to go to a major?

ATP mins = 1500TT, 500xcountry
restricted = 1500TT, 200 X country
Restricted from a 2 year university program= 1250TT, 200xc
Restricted graduate from a 4 year program = 1000TT, 200 xc
Restricted graduate from military program = 750TT, 200 xc

If you are within 3 months of reaching one of these minimums, apply.

To clarify make sure the school your going to is on the FAA approved list, and just because it's a 4 year degree does not necessarily mean it has the 60 or more credit hours required by the FAA to be reduced to 1,000 TT it may only be good for 1,250 with 30-59 approved credit hours. So make sure you know what degree/program you're getting into to make sure it's going to work for you.

True unfortunately.

For those curious, Mitsubishi has restarted test flights of the MRJ after halting them in December. Initial tests found the wingbox structure could not handle the 150% ultimate load test. Have to say, the takeoff and landing looked smooth as glass. And boy is she quiet.

One story said the second and third test plane are out of the hangar and will be flying soon. Mitsubishi plans to have four planes in Moses Lake, WA by September for testing with Boeing's help.

So with 100 orders and an option for 100 more, is SkyWest looking to replace planes or expand its fleet with a third variant?
