Whats the story with required multi time? The website is saying they only need 50 multi (as per ATP mins.) But I think I've heard that the actual requirement for SKW is 100 multi.
What kind of times are people getting hired with? Would I have a shot with 1600TT and 65 multi?

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).

in either case, the wait is paid so not a big deal

Quick question for the CRJ people, do you just focus on the just the 200 in initial ground school/systems and then have a differences class later on, or do you learn all 3 variants at once? Just curious as to which limitations/memory items I should focus more on right now(I am studying all three however I would like to stress only one right now if that's the case.)

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.

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?)
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.
