Just got called for an interview. I guess that means they are hiring.

Can anybody tell me what the call out is while on reserve if sfo based? I live an hour and 15 minutes away. Thanks!

In my experience on reserve actual 2 hour callouts were not that common. Typically I would get a trip assigned a day or two in advance, or they would call me at 4am to notify me of an 8-10am show time. You would probably be alright living an hour and 15 mins away as long as you kept your bag packed and ready to go. You may get an occasional missed assignment when they give you a 2 hour call out in the middle of rush hour.

Based on current seniority and movement, how long to get a CRJ in SFO? Reserve or line?

A year and a half on the RJ. Immediately on the Brasilia. Some of the new hire classes in the brasilia recently have held a line in SFO right out of training. If you live in SFO and choose the CRJ you'll be commuting to reserve for a very long time while brasilia guys hold a line in your domicile and make more money than you.

As an aside, the pay chart here shows the same pay for all three first year.
Is the chart on APC not accurate for Skywest?

Both the bro and jet are the same pay the first year so it doesn't matter which one you choose if you're looking at hourly rate. Since you can hold a line sooner on the bro then you'd make more money per month out of the gate but after first year the pay on the jet is higher than the bro but by then your seat lock will be up and you can transition to the jet if the company is holding classes.

Callouts are 2 hours for short call reserve and 12 hours for long call reserve. Long calls can be converted to short call a certain number of times per month, and long call usually goes to the more senior reserves.
In my experience on reserve actual 2 hour callouts were not that common. Typically I would get a trip assigned a day or two in advance, or they would call me at 4am to notify me of an 8-10am show time. You would probably be alright living an hour and 15 mins away as long as you kept your bag packed and ready to go. You may get an occasional missed assignment when they give you a 2 hour call out in the middle of rush hour.

In a real crunch you could take a cab to save the time dealing with parking.
