In my class (1/26) there were some pretty junior guys near the bottom of class that still got SLC. Granted they weren't great blocks (think 0400 start time), but it is possible. It used to be worse, November hires were waiting a month or more to start sim. 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.

Haha, I will stay here at SkyWest until SkyWest does not fit me anymore, and I will move on. When that happens I will say thanks to those who helped me out. It is what it is, I didn't come here expecting life to be perfect. I do what I can and make the best of it and know my job isn't my whole life. I enjoy where I am right now. 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.

Is everyone going to ORD from the 12/29 and 1/26 classes? CRJ200's? Got a buddy that wants DEN. Any chance of that happening?
