Seems like the guys who say "All regionals suck" work for places like Gojet, Mesa, and Endeavor. I haven't heard many SkyWest, Horizon or Compass pilots broadcasting this. I spent 7.5 at SkyWest, would do it all over in a heartbeat. Welcome to the new guys!

I got DEN for May after being online for a month. Seems to be the case with most people too. If someone wants it, it shouldn't take long at all at this point.

How far away from a line are you?

7.5 yes, if you need to.

25 or 35 would be a questionable proposition.

Vacancy bids for May were awarded on April 4th. The date they award them seems to change every month. You just have to check the standing bid awards.

PBS says I'm 202 of 208 and 190 targeted line holders. So who knows but doesn't seem too far away!

Yeah hopefully it's not too far off. I start class the 28th of April and thinking about DEN as one of my choices (but wouldn't obviously be until August or so, whenever IOE is done and I can hold it) since it's an easy commute from PHX. Are you a short call or long call reserve?( I assume SkyWest has long call?)

To give perspective on timeline, I have sim directly after ground school (class 3/31) and I should be done with IOE by may 31st or so. Not saying your initial estimate is incorrect, just giving you my timeline in case you need to make plans at home and whatnot (housing, etc etc).
