They don't give us mere peasants that information (unless we happen to be in recurrent and ask around). If you've interviewed or been accepted recently your best bet would be to call in and ask.

The last time I was in training department they said that they're having a little bit of trouble completely filling classes and there have been a few open seats in most of them recently. It's probably a safe bet that there are a couple of open seats in the Jan 27th class.

Benefits on all mainline partners(except Alaska and American unless you support that operation directly)

I just completed an ORD -900 trip.

It started with ORD-MEM-DEN on day one and ended with SLC-ORD. As I'm certain you already know, just because you're based in a United hub doesn't mean you're restricted to United flying.

Have you guys seen a reduction in your trip length mix? Here at XJT nearly all of our trips are now 4 days. There are very few 1, 2, or 3 day trips since 117 came into force. How have you faired over at Skywest?

I know of at least two in the 1/10 interview group that got calls within an hour of leaving the hanger with offers for 1/27 class - either aircraft.

Took about a day for a lot of us in the 1/9 interview to hear back.

Could anyone answer a question about bases at Skywest based on aircraft? I have used the search function and haven't been able to find anything more current then 2007. Just wondering what the bases are for the embraer and the crj. Thank you for your time.
