For those asking about time on reserve for newbies, 6/2 class here, ORD based. I thought I'd have at least a partial line next month, but no luck, although others in my class that are more senior had partial lines for this month. November will be my 3rd month of reserve.
As far as life on reserve, the past few weeks I've had great 4 days trips. This week I've been sitting in my crashpad for 3 days without a phone call yet.
I know a few guys from my class managed to get DEN and COS after being in ORD for only a month. I know one of them even got a line right away in COS.
Also want to add for Flylowflyfast....if you're already worried about missing your wife's cooking and not seeing your kids, you're going to be in a world of hurt coming to an airline, or any gig that requires spending so much time away from home. I've flown with a lot of guys in my career, but the ones that stand out are the ones who sit in cruise, watching videos or looking at pictures of their kids over and over again. They're always counting down the minutes until it's time to go home, or always talking about how much they miss the kids. It sucks flying with them because they suck the life right out of you, and are miserable the entire trip. Flying for them is 110% a job, with no shred of enjoyment anymore. Don't be one of those people.

I totally agree. You should look into some of the 135 freight companies. The company I work for flies only at night but I'm "home" every day, the first year FO pay is better than any regional and I've already upgraded after only 5 months. Look into REPUTABLE freight companies near you but DON'T sign a training contract. Best of luck!

The fact that I've tried to help people with their applications by explaining what I've also done is preaching? Strange, I always thought it was called "paying it forward". I bet you'd have a hard time finding too many posts of mine on here (or anywhere else) that were negative compared to posts where I've tried to provide help and/or encouragement.
The fact that you derive pleasure by trying to crap all over your employer and co-workers is very telling. It's a sign of a VERY unhappy person. Seriously man, from what I understand we have a pretty decent EAP program, and I hope that you use it before really going off the deep end.

No psychological analysis needed. It's called being an at-will employee.

But if you read the facts of the case, it gives you a glimpse of the upper management philosophy at Skywest Airlines, and by default Skywest Inc.
Skywest could have defused this case at any number of points in time but chose the path of sticking to their guns no matter what.
