ERJ is only ORD, SFO, SEA, & PDX right now. Most of the ERJ new hires are still going to ORD. My guess is that if you called and asked to switch they would let you.

oh ok well in that case ok.. ORD is my first choice so thanks mate. I thought MSP was another ERJ base but I stand corrected. Any info on the other bases and how they are being staffed what would be the most "junior" out of the rest of em? Again I know that allot of BRO people are becoming ERJ people but just for information updates sake..

I believe I may already know the answer but, on the CT350 jobsite, Skywest is listing openings at multiple locations including Palm Springs and several others. This doesn't mean that applicants can hire into the chosen location applied for, right? There must to be 15 different openings on the 350 site for SKW.

Any pilot openings are first offered to currently employed pilots, then any unfilled vacancies are off offered to new hires. So while you may be able to predict what bases will be available to new hires, there are no guarantees. Well I can guarantee MSP if you want it.

That would be nice (hired into a location) but that's just not how it works. On the CRJ, expect ORD and MSP. On the ERJ, expect probably ORD to start with. Of course, there's a lot of movement. I got ORD out of training (for the month of Jan), then IAH for this month, then SFO for next month. I started class in September. So, less than 6 months after class start, I was able to hold SFO on the CRJ.

Looking at the bids, though, nearly all the Bro guys are bidding for the ERJ on the West Coast. The Bro goes away by May. So if I were interviewing now, and wanted to be based on the West Coast, I'd take the CRJ in a heartbeat. I think the West Coast ERJ bases will start to go real senior as the new bases (SEA and PDX) grow, and as the Bro guys transition to the ERJ.

Hi SkyWest guys. I am leaving the company and have several items that could help the new hires. I know the uniform stuff can be expensive at first. It has been a great company, so stick with them and enjoy the ride!


------------
(1) SkyWest Perrone Leather Jacket with FO Epilets and Thinsulate Liner- very good condition, never worn much since I was based in CA. You can get your own nametag for $13 on peronne website. Size is M with longer fit waist-band i.e. its a longer jacket so it does’t ride-up as much. Fits me perfect 5’10” medium build.

The beauty of CT350. They are constantly recycling adds to make is seem like a useful site. This is false advertising by CT350, not Skywest.

For every city that Skywest has a base, there is a separate ad for hiring. That's not 350. 350 has a tendency to run duplicates every few days, but they don't break out a new posting for every base in SKW's system.

You sure about that? In my experience CT350 is completely useless because the majority of the listings are expired or duplicates. Definitely not worth the subscription.
