Where are new hires in the E -175 getting assigned base wise ?

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

This is the year of Skywest. Skywest is the place to be as great things will be happening.

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...

I wish it was a myth. Unfortunately, United has a boat load of 737s and Airbus coming to replace regional flying, and specifically many of the crjs. So it's only a matter of time now and not if but when. On the united videos that we can watch, they outline the plan. So I'm thinking my upgrade will be a while.

You know, I hope that you are right. The more 737s/A320s that they buy, the more CRJ/ERJ pilots will be needed to fly them.
