Input re:SkyWest
 
Have a job offer. My equipment to choose. Leaning towards E-Jet. What is the most junior reserve base (ORD)? How long on reserve in that base? How senior are the E-Jet FO's in DEN, LAX, SFO, SEA, PDX? How long would a new hire on E-Jet be based on ORD before getting a west coast base?

I also have an offer.

How long is the CTP course? It's in SLC correct?

Leaning towards CRJ.

You do realize you are going to get a lot of comedic responses due to the way you phased your question and that this thread probably holds all of your answers...

We also have 53 700's coming off contract that they "feel confident" they can find homes for. They have placed seven on the American, but then they said the 200's for American are going away.

No one will know if it's growth until it's done.

Trade the 15 AE 200s + continued expansion eastbound to pix up for PDT and PSA and Envoy

Some of the American 200s make good money.

CTP is 5 days in SLC. You will receive an email outlining the schedule and testing location information.

Have you given your 3 weeks notice?

Thanks for the info.

No because I'm not going to class for at least another month and half or two.

CTP is 4 days of ground and 3 days of sim. They are not guaranteed to be consecutive events. I started CTP ground on the 12th. I have three days off and do CTP sim on 19/20/21. Not enough time to two leg it home to be back on the 24th for class on the 25th. Left home on July 11th. Won't be back home until the end of August. Might be September if my sim schedule is immediately after the completion of ground.

CTP course is 4 days of ground then 3 in the SIM. There may be a day or two between ground and SIM. A lot of it has been in SLC with some in STL and ATL
