There are a few numbers posted for crashpads in the crew room in PSP. If you look up EMPNO: 30234 , he stays in one of the crashpads there and may be able to provide some info. Hope that helps.

What are the chances once hired of getting sfo as your base? Is it junior?

On the brasilia your chances are almost 100%. On the RJ the most junior FO in SFO has over a year seniority so chances are slim to none. If you live in or near SFO you'll have much better QOL by taking the Brasilia for a year or two, then transitioning to the RJ when you can hold SFO.

In the last few Bro classes, the more senior people have gotten into LAX/SFO right out of class. The more junior ones got FAT/PSP. In the very last class it looks like more of the share got FAT. I was a recent hire (junior in class) and had to do only a couple weeks' reserve in FAT before getting transferred to SFO, at the beginning of the month following my first base assignment.
This is a huge QOL improvement for me since I spent most of the past year away from home commuting to another regional... and by all accounts I had an easy commute. Get into the airplane that will give you little to no commute to work in the least amount of time.

I think I have reverse SJS.. I would have stayed on the turboprop if I didn't live in an RJ base. The plane, the overnights and the crews were all a lot of fun.

Just curious, if someone is turned down after interviewing for Skywest, is there a time you must wait to be eligible to interview again? And is there a success rate anyone can share for the second interview?
I haven't interviewed yet, just curious.
Thanks.

So far as the second interview goes, I've got nuthin'. If I had to guess, (and I do), probably about even.
You get a debrief at the end of your interview and are told exactly what went right and what needs work. I figure someone who has been through that would come back with stuff 'fixed' the second time around.

I know a guy at the local airport who interviewed over two years ago and was not accepted. He has not heard back for a second interview. My question is this common? Or possibly something showed up that would forever disqualify him?
Thanks again.
