I realized this after he was unable to answer a single one of my questions.

Hey all, got the invitation to training and could use some advice.

Choice of CRJ or E175, both for 1/22 class. My main goal is to be SEA based in the shortest time possible, however long that takes me. E175s are slated for SEA this summer but would I be right in assuming that the CRJ would probably get me based here quicker?

In the meantime, any tips on commuting out of Seattle? I'e heard I'll probably get MSP at first, looks like there's 6 direct flights/day SEA - MSP so hopefully there's consistent room on those.

Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

The SEA-MSP commute is brutal. Consider AK or SCA as well. Good Luck.

Snapshot take the CRJ. We've already got enough bids in from current pilots to cover the SEA E175 positions.

At least with the CRJ you could get based out west at the other CRJ domiciles while waiting on a SEA crj award.

Welcome to SkyWest!

Adding my CRJ recommendation too...There will only be probably 18 e175 sea slots until sumer 2016, and you betcha those will go pretty senior at a company with 1700 ish f/o's. The delta flying is going to double the sea crj base from what I've been hearing to perhaps 80-100 fo's.

Unfortunately he's not trolling. I'm not allowed to insult people on this forum, so you'll have to deduce what kind of person he is knowing that what he posts here reflects exactly who he is as he use to post on our internal forums, where we don't pick our user names, with the same undesirable attitude. You are correct though in that we shouldn't feed the troll.

Like others have said take the CRJ as there will be more options available to you.

Welcome to SkyWest!! If you're going to be at a regional, it's a good choice!

Congrats and welcome aboard!

IMO, avoid the ejet like the plague regardless of where you want to be based. Last few bids have shown senior people start to bid over. Though they may hold a line now, new hires on the erj will spend eons on reserves? New hires are going to SFO but TG himself said they could be displaced if it came down to it with the scaling back on the bro. If you want the jet in the future, you can always bid over later.

Anyway, since you want Seattle I wouldn't even think twice about it. The ejet lines will likely go super senior, as there is already a substantial bid list for Seattle erj already.

Thanks gents, CRJ it is! Which west coast bases are junior? Any estimates on how long it'll take to get SEA? (just trying to get a rough idea). Thanks again.
