Great, thx Jet. How long after do you come back for that typically?
Within a couple of weeks, I think I flew one IOE trip on the 200 after my training, then came back for differences training. Then finished up the rest of my IOE

It can vary. I did my differences training 2 days after the systems test before I had flown any IOE trips. Some people get through all of IOE on the 200 before going to differences. I think it just has to do with class and sim availability.

Are you a short call or long call reserve?( I assume SkyWest has long call?)

I started class on December 31st and my last IOE trip for the 700 was on March 13th. Just some real world numbers for you. I'm short call right now, I haven't really bid yet tho. I've had bigger fish to fry thus far than learning PBS (SkyWest's bidding system), looks like a nightmare to figure out! Now that I'm a little bit settled in that's next on my list.

Are the ERJ's in Houston yet?
Anyway to get houston right away from training?
Sfo base is still attainable as well in the 120 for a new hire?

E-175 in ORD. DEN and SFO have been announced as other bases but no date on that yet. IAH is fairly junior, so it shouldn't be too long of a wait if you don't get it out of training. SFO should be attainable on the E-120. There is consistent movement right now, so getting your base of choice shouldn't take too long.

I felt / feel the same way. Ive gotten a little better at it, but still not a PBS guru. Ive flown with a couple Captains who are savvy with it and have provided some good tips. It's certainly a trial and error kind of system. The PBS home page has a link on the top left, "ONLINE DOCs". When I bid, I'll open that in a separate window and reference it while Im building my bid. There is an "Avoid Reserve" selection by the way. Take care.

Have any of the bids/awards, ie, transfer awards gone out yet? I'm still trying to figure SWOL out but I'm not sure if there was an Easter delay or what.

They've been out for 5+ days. I can't remember if you get a priority message or not if your transfer is accepted. Anyways, swol, operations, standing bid list, awards. Change the dates if you don't want to funnel through the FA awards.
