Airline Pilot Central Forums

My personal opinion is that they are pilots on our list but haven't started yet, miss their class date or go somewhere else. I would say about half of those were pretty far down the list and some have been on there for months. We do lose some pretty junior folks in MSP every month.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I found my inside source!! :)

If we are truly hiring 60-100 on the CRJ each month, I would be pretty upset if I had my transition locked. IMO, if we honored seniority there wouldn't be one new hire on the 175 while we had CRJ pilots that were being held back from transitioning.

For CAs... Sure.

Not too many FOs have gotten classes except for the PDX transitions

6 ORD FOs this bid for sure

I think I'm missing something. This made sense as long as there were only so many 175s with senior people transitioning into it. But with the scheduled fleet growth beginning soon, combined with only CAs getting transition slots, this should begin to change soon, no? How do you numerically define "eternal"?

We hire everyone and let the training guys fail them out. Not everyone can fly an airplane. Some careers end real fast.

It happens...not everyone can win. There are always more 1500 hour wonders to take their place. SkyWest unlike some of its competitors is still able to draw them in.

I don't see what your point in sharing that is in the SkyWest thread. I see that as more of a learning experience: humans fly airplanes, and they are capable of making mistakes under the right conditions despite how much experience they have.

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.

I was thinking of interviewing this month, and choosing a class around DEC 2016, I know there is some wait time. I am tied up with my other job until then.

Also, would you advise to go to SKYWEST recruiting event ? or just apply and have them fly me down there ? Which one is better ?

Thank You

How many CRJs are left in SEA and PDX? Is there a way to look this up? Thinking about doing TDY for a month or two.
