Starting off in a different aircraft (EMB) doesn't get you to another one (CRJ) faster, except that seniority is strictly DOH, regardless of aircraft, and CURRENTLY the only new-hire classes that are being run are for the EMB. Therefore, even if you wait until the magical CRJ new-hire class, everyone who took the EMB before you will be senior to you and after a year will transition over and bump you down in your base, and be ahead of you when upgrade time rolls around. Some may not see this as an issue, but ask the guys still waiting to upgrade after 7 years if they'd have traded a few months' seniority for being hired directly into the jet. As always, YMMV.

They are actually running a new hire class on September 30th for the CRJ. Just a minor correction to the "only hiring into the bro."

Don't know. I work for a different airline but have a buddy that's making a lateral move to SKW. He is confirmed in a CRJ class on Sept 30

The 175 went very junior. But I guess the facts don't support your stereotype of SkyWest pilots...

The 175 bid was, what 1% of the pilot group? You can always find 1% willing to do almost anything (ie mesa/freedom, TSA/goejets).
Besides...it's going to pay the same as the 900 ultimately, no real big mystery there.

I have an interview next week, can somebody tell me if they are still doing the sim? Thanks

If you are not currently flying Part 121, you will do the sim. Fly a table top yoke on flight sim and you'll be fine ...
As for class dates, so far Brasilia classes confirmed on 9/30, 10/28 and 11/25. They've attached a CRJ new hire class to the 9/30 and 10/28 classes so far. The classes for both aircraft aircraft are scheduled to continue at 1 a month for the "foreseeable future", as they say.
Hope that helps. I'm simply relaying information, I do not have any actual involvement in the class planning processs.
