IAH is possible out of training. It's middle of the road. Right now the junior lineholders were hired around May 2012. If more movement comes, that time could come down. There are about 120 crews. IAH is about 80% -700 flying and 20% -200. There's even a few Delta 900 pairings in the mix as well. Even with the 200, the legs seem to be fairly long so you'll average about 2 to 3 legs per day. It seems that most 3 and 4 day trip leave IAH on day one and you don't see IAH again until day 4. So lots of hub flying into other places like SFO, DEN, LAX, and even IAD some. Mexico seems to go junior too. Overnights are all over the place too so its hard to tell you that, but you'll see mostly west coast, but a few east coast stuff too like BOS, and I even saw Halifax as an overnight as well. So come to IAH if you're a new hire!

 

I just wanted to thank all the guys and gals for providing valuable information on this thread and not turning it into a complaint board or stray too far off topic. This shows a lot about the people that work for the company.

I have been contemplating leaving a decent paying desk job in aviation to get back in the cockpit full-time - so thank you all for giving me more information to be able to make an educated decision.

 

How many people showed up to todays class?

 

Not enough.. Classes were not full..

 

Not sure if they are the ones that started today but it looks like 13 in TRG as of today.

Also, to a point on the last page, 1st year pilots are not eligible for BHO in the 700/900 and after 1st year, all BHO credits DO count toward breaking guarantee. They do NOT show up on paper until the override is calculated at the end of the pay period/bid period. Add the override to whatever your monthly credited time was and there you go.

 

What was the class size? How many showed up?

 

Does anyone have a count on the number of crews per base (on both the CRJ and Bro sides)? Curious minds want to know.

 

To interviewed today and saw the whole new hire class as well. Maybe 15-20 people waiting in the lobby. Both CRJ and Bro.

Also, Skywest runs an impressive operation. That was the hardest interview so far (for) but very laid back and pleasant.

 

Double post.

 

That varies pretty wildly. 11 for the smallest base, 300+ for the largest. Are there specific base(s) you're wondering about?
