The 200 trips go more junior, so as a junior lineholder in most bases you can expect to fly mostly 200 trips. Some bases like IAH have a lot of 700 flying so even junior lineholders get 700 trips. The trip mix and what you can expect as a junior lineholder changes a lot base by base. I just got my May schedule and bidding 75% as a lineholder I have all 200 trips in May.

Say you are on reserve in ORD...is it possible to bid on open time in other bases so you're not stuck in your crash pad the whole time?

You will be a CRJ line holder, which means any of the variants. In fact we just received a memo that equipment may even change mid-trip now to reduce the longer (30+ hour) overnights. Not sure what to think about that...

Some of the more detailed RSR reports noted that crew planners are toying the the idea of mixed equip trips to help create better pairings.

To create better pairings, I am laughing already

Yes, I've done it. I just called CS and asked them. If it doesn't conflict with any rest legalities or your normal schedule, then you got it!

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?

The intelligent person would say, "why doesn't SkyWest just pay for the software that is currently available." That isn't what SkyWest is about. They would rather pay someone $13/hr to write a new program that doesn't work and expect us to use it.
If this does happen, it will be a while.

There is real talk for this, but the hangup is 'FA head' and the lack of foresight on her part. She doesn't think it's possible to come up with a computer program to figure out how to schedule 1 FA on part of trip, and then adding a second for another part.
