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?

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.

Hello.

What will me life look like at skywest if I choose the E175 and ORD. I would really want to be based out of ORD but E175 would be nice.

Thank You

I'm not talking about the big number at the top. If you scroll down, the last pilot with a seniority number is 3933. 4 have the 9998 and the rest have 9999.

Great news about the new hire class. Hopefully it is 50 since we lost 10 pilots in training over the past 30 days. I must've missed the memo from TG and SAPA that lists out the upcoming class dates. Guess I need to find a friend in the training department so I can get basic information like upcoming new hire and transition classes. Last message I saw from TG with any of that info was last November. I guess those quick turn updates is taking up all his time.
