Never said that. But they had the gouge....

So what part are you saying was speculation? Those guys should have never been subject to that for the reasons they give. You can think what you like but the company or SAPA did not help them.

Sorry for so many questions guys, last one regarding PDX with the E175... If PDX is the place I would like to end up if possible, what is the outlook on that of a new hire? Straight to ORD for awhile I am assuming? I heard the 175 is pretty backed up? I'm still reading through all these pages trying to get all the info I can, just didnt see anything for pdx was all.

If you want pdx the 175 is the way to go. And it shouldn't take too long to get it. Maybe a 6month stint in ord. We just got two more 175 sims so training shouldn't be an issue.

Is PHX is really senior? Thinking about making the switch because committing sucks. Also do they make people with current airline experience do things like draw the electrical system?

Most junior in base was hired 1/26/2016.
They might make you draw a simple diagram, if you're typed on something Skywest flies you'll def have to know what you're talking about even if you can't draw it.

As sad as it may seem. Sapa did'nt say much because it was justified. Notice any changes in TEM..??.also yesterdays email.... Im done talking about it. But everyone helped them out..

With thousands of pilots retiring from the major airlines over the next twenty years, it appears that the regionals could have a difficult time hiring and retaining pilots. Is there a good chance that SkyWest could dissipate along with other regional carriers?

No. Even now we're hiring 80 a month

When a pilot is hired, if they choose the CRJ do they fly all systems (200, 700, and 900) or does one pilot only fly the 200 and another pilot only flies the 700 and 900?

For the most part, you fly all variants. Which variants you fly mostly depends on base. Some bases are pretty much just 200s, some have a mix of 200/700, some are 700/900, some are 200/700/900.

Well I don't know what to tell ya. Generally you will see them pop up a week or 2 after class starts. I wasn't added to the list until about halfway through week 2. Typically they show up at the bottom of the list, and are integrated into the proper order several days later.

So looking at the seniority list today, I notice that the top number is 3933 and now we have about 94 pilots on the list with 9998 or 9999 seniority numbers. Some of those have been on the seniority list for over 6 months and still show listed as TRG.

If those 9998 and 9999 numbers were those that have class dates but had to defer for military or other stuff, or cadets that have employee numbers, that would put our overall number at 3933. And 100 people in the training pipeline, which sounds way more realistic than the 200 people that it shows now.

And FWIW someone I know that recently started class showed up on the seniority list the Friday before class started and put in the right order (based on SSN) by the end of the second week. So it seems like they are adding pilots to the seniority list earlier than when they have in the past.
