If movement really picks up you can expect a short amount of time on reserve on the brasilia. Probably not more than a few months. You should always be prepared to spend years on reserve if things slow down right after you're hired though.

Predicting the airline industry is impossible. The new hire brasilia class two weeks before mine got a line right out of training and I was told to expect the same. I ended up spending 8 months on reserve in the most junior base. The classes right after mine spent over a year on reserve. In the past people have upgraded to the brasilia in under a year.

Yeah I hear it can be a roller coaster but anything is better than my schedule now. 5 on (24hrs on call) 2 off and on call every other weekend.

Does anyone know if they are actually using the sim at the interview I've been flying a metroIII.

My friend who interviewed recently had to use the Frasca, and the announcement about Oshkosh said they would be using a King Air. Whether or not you have to fly the sim is usually at their discretion though. If you have 121 experience or if they just run out of time sometimes they won't make you fly it.

Howdy SkyWest folks -
I accepted an August 5th class in the Bro. I'm very excited to say the least. This will be my second 121 job (and second full time flying job). Any advice for a newbie? I received my study packet today and will get to work on the limitations and memory items. The next two weeks will be a whirlwind.

Congrats on the Bro class!!! I have an interview this week and am hoping for good things.
Does anyone know if they ask for your college transcripts during the interview? They weren't a required thing mentioned in the interview email, though I've heard people talk about them before from years past.
Any info is appreciated!
