Yup. Last year they completely stopped for a couple months. Then you'll see a significant number of "more senior" guys upgrade because they're afraid they'll miss their chance otherwise. Same cycle as last year.

This is the year of Skywest. Skywest is the place to be as great things will be happening.
Do you even work here? This post is divorced from reality. The 'gone' list is usually 40% FOs in training. There just isn't that much attrition above the 2500 numbers.

Does SkyWest pay for parking at your home airport if you are a commuter? Thanks!

It's looking good for my quick upgrade for now. My big worry is when united and delta enact their regional reduction plan starting soon and then the numbers will turn bad very fast. I'm glad I have a bunch of pilots under me

I'm above 2500 and moved up just under 100 numbers in the last 2 and 3/4 months.
Lots of captains moving on. Hopefully it continues.

Does anyone know about the reserves in SFO? Are they flying much? How long until you could hold a line?

Thanks

Region reduction plan is a myth... Pilot shortage is real...
