actually, in fairness, I was thinking of that post as I was writing what I wrote!

But I've been saying and thinking it even before I read CCB's comments, which I totally agree with (in this case).

 

Anyone know of when the next class date is for the ERJ? I was given the hiring email and accepted but have not heard anything other than a tentative date of the 22nd but this was in mid december email when I inquired. If anyone knows either PM me or Post cheers. I just dont want to call and pester but also trying to plan a little bit of timing out on my side.
Cheers guys and gals.

I interviewed early/mid-December too, and I'm still waiting for a class date.

 

I interviewed mid-Dec and I am still waiting for an ERJ class as well. Before Christmas I inquired and was told they weren't sure how many people would be in the 22 Jan class. Next class after that was scheduled for 5 Feb.

 

You know whats sad boot? At the 3 year mark you will not only agree with me but be more extreme, since the lash welts will still be fresh and hurting. As the hiring falls behind the attrition, the abuse will increase to unbearable levels and attrition will further increase, creating the spiral downward. Ya'all are no different than multiple hiring cycles of past years. Phase 1-koolaid and unicorn hair, Phase 2- disbelief, Phase 3-Anger and angst, Phase 4-acceptance and regret, Phase 5- Just don't care anymore, comes to work, does the best they can, given the circumstances and tries to have a life. The timing phases totally depend on a multiple of variables.

 

The bro is going away, even before this was announced only a small number of newhires were required to fill the 175 classes. Many of the bro people seem to have bids in for the 175.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't need new bodies for the 175 for awhile, at least until after the EMB is gone. By then SEA will be opening and more senior RJ FO's will be bidding onto it, the people hired into the 175 over the last few months are about to feel the pain.

Erase that UTW column from your logbook and take the RJ.

 

I was just told by Skywest I can't get in the 22 Jan or 5 Feb class, and they don't know about the 19 Feb class.

UTW - Under the Weather???

Why do you say "the people hired into the 175 over the last few months are about to feel the pain"?

 

The only reason new-hires went to the 175 is because there wasn't enough current pilots bidding it. They don't have that problem anymore, when this all shakes down they'll be the junior pilots in the junior base only moving backwards in seniority until every pilot in the entire company has had a chance to transition. I wouldn't even think about it unless you loved ORD, reserve, week-days off and TDY.

 

Someone is getting it....
It isn't that tough, while I don't have all the answers, BTDT for quite awhile, if there is money involved, senior guys will jump on it like a duck on a june-bug. Unless there is a question, then we will wait until we are sure/relatively certain that the pain is clearly defined. But then I posted this awhile ago, and I will leave this forum like the ones before, they become predictable and repetitious.

 

Hi everyone, I have a few questions about SkyWest that I have not found clear answers on from searching the forums. Other information I have found is several years old, so I'd like to ask it here. Please forgive me if this has been asked before.

Is SkyWest EFB approved? If so, does the company provide the iPads? If not, is there a tentative date?

Can my parents and domestic partner all receive travel benefits? What is paid on international flights? (Tax, portion of tax)

If given ORD as a base until I get my base of choice (seems that's where new hires are going) what airlines may we utilize travel benefits on?

How much time off (if any) is given between ground, sim, and IOE?

Is there a publicly available copy of SkyWest's contract?

Again, I apologize if these questions were clearly answered elsewhere. I appreciate any replies.
