And just like that. 4 year upgrade. I think it'll hover at 4 years for awhile though. Lots of seniors holding out for west coast bases or line holding.

Bottom line: SkyWest is a good place to come right now, and there is no need to be so down. Chin up buttercup, we live in 'Merica and we ride around in airplanes.

Although, the flip side of the coin could be like me, where one bids and gets SLC but then their partner drops out and one finds themselves heading to ATL in a couple weeks...quite ironic considering I live in SLC and had good enough seniority already as a new hire to bid on a good SLC sim slot.

ORD is the 2nd most Jr. base for SkyWest, you will have no problem holding it out of training.

Why else would I bid max credit and leave the rest to fate? LOL.
Hub reserve, out station res and SLC res are all three very different things, sprinkle in personal temperament and personal situation and res ranges from real hell to layer one bidding. No silver bullets.
