So here's a question- How long would you guys speculate until they'll give a Typed CRJ guy with a couple years 121 a written letter for a DEN base? What I mean is, regardless if ORD and MSP are Jr, I will not ever 2 hop commute east bound again. If I had DEN in writing on day one I could probably convince my wife that SkyWest is an option.

I'm guessing 1-2 months. After you get hired and in line after everyone else.

Yeah, the question was half tongue in cheek. I've heard some odd rumors lately that I wouldn't want to broadcast on an open forum. So the question was sort of intertwined with some rumblings I had heard. And with the adds on the orange site posted for each base city, I wondered. So basically, they aren't hurting that bad yet :-)

They can do that only if they have the capacity to accommodate everybody on the standing bid list and then some.

Not sure what the rumor is, but here at SkyWest, if management tells you something it is as good as gold. In fact, they don't need to put anything in writing because we are not union and we work together in perfect harmony. We prefer to work on verbal agreements and handshakes to get things done.

It is something the company has talked about. It would be done within seniority, but accomplish by artificially inflating a base (think about all the SLC losers). Then they'd just TDY the snot out of you until you A) blew your brains out B) quit C) go postal.

If SGU wants to set up a program to alleviate that, while honoring seniority, then I am all for it. TDY takes care of the same staffing problem, but with positive space travel, parking at home, a hotel, and per diem to the new pilot that might be sitting reserve far from home on their own dime otherwise, or enjoying crashpad life. I think its a good idea.
