Spot on!

Ethics and SkyWest is kinda like Jumbo Shrimp, Military Intelligence, etc. you get the point.

Unless they're really dumb, they will not force upgrade the junior-most pilot with the minimum FAR experience... that would frankly be a VERY bad idea. They will have to set a bar, something like three years on property / 2000 hours 121 time.

Some folks who bypass upgrade do it for QOL, other know they are not ready, and a few will never be ready. Risky business.

You'd also have to reinstate "up or out", to motivate the draftees to succeed in training.

It will be ugly when it comes.

It’s constantly changing but most junior are ATL, DTW, MSP, and ORD. Not necessarily in that order. ORD and MSP can be held quickly if not right not of training.

One of my buddies just did it. Sounds like the training was fine. It's just a crappy airplane compared to the 175. Especially in winter
