Again you are correct.
It is illegal for the previous posted reason other than rest.....or FDP or 117 or anything else rest related you want to continue to be correct about.

Here's the issue, it isn't long as a FO to hold a line at SkyWest, at any base, the rub comes when you want/need to upgrade to further your career or make a living income. There are Captains I know with nearly 10 years seniority who are barely holding West coast bases, let alone a line.
If LA is a priority Compass is the way to go.

Am I reading it correctly that it would be several months to hold ORD or DEN as a new hire?
Pretty sure ORD can be held right away for a FO on both the CRJ or ERJ

anyone know if the population at SkyWest is coming up on the mandatory retirement wave like the majors are? I don't see it tracked on APC for the regionals.

Once you get to about 60% as a CA, your progression will slow to a crawl, literally slower than the legacies.

Are there any Skywest pilots in this thread who are/were in the cadet program? I am currently in it and thought it could make QOL better, but after reading everything in these threads I'm nervous it may not be as helpful as I have been told by my mentor and classmates in university.
