June 15th, SkyWest has 11 departures scheduled out of ASE for DEN, IAH, ORD and LAX. Sounds like someone just got thrown a bone.

Wish they would take all of it... it can be quite the disaster at times. However, its more likely United wanted the 700's to do longer routes out of DEN for the summer season instead of just using it on the short DEN-ASE turns.

Please please please take the Qs off any flight over 1.5 hours long. What a miserable aircraft...

Hey all
Do you know what base you get on first day of class or is it bid and wait?

Bid during indoc, normally won't find out until the end of SIM.

Usually they dump entire CRJ classes into one of the JR bases. MSP, ORD, DEN, IAH. You could probably get a transfer pretty much anywhere but the elite 3-4 bases within a few months.

Agreed. I volunteered for it this year... It was an interesting experience, and I learned a lot. But there certainly are some trying times with that flying. The Q400 is much better suited for that place, I'm surprised it took this long quite honestly.

Much better than any 200 or 145 and in some regards I think better than a 7/9.
