I see status quo four year upgrades until we hit the 2013 hiring freeze gap. That will drop almost a whole year off, I'd guess it would still be slightly over three years post gap. The amount of bypassers can skew it though. The gap will drop it but we are 9 months from that point. Last winter they had a month of 100 or so upgrades, I don't see that happening again as it overloaded the system. |

I'm still at Skywest little man. And I'll be your captain telling you what to do someday cause I am not going to wait to upgrade like most of them.
Which domicile is closest to your mom's basement?:rolleyes: |

His version of a "jumpseat" is the booster seat his mom puts him in at the dinner table.;) |

In all honesty, I'd bet good money this individual is a 14-year-old kid in his mom's basement. Now, admittedly, his post history indicates a maturity level of an 8-year-old, but he can type as well as a 14-year-old, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If, by some horrible, cruel twist of Fate, he/she is actually a pilot employed at SkyWest, all I can say to my fellow aviators is, I'm sorry. Occasionally some complete f--tards fall through the cracks of the recruiting department, as JB22's presence would indicate. |
I give JB a little more cred than that. Possible UND/ERAU/spiffy 141 dude(ette).

Good evening and thanks in advance.
What would you expect the timeframe to be to get a SEA/PDX domicile?

It's hard to say. We are adding 8 more planes between the 2 bases before the end of the year. That means an additional 55 to 65 crews. My guess would be 3 to 5 months tops. Could be as quickly as right out of training.
There are currently ~69 people on the transfer/transition lists who want SEA or PDX first, if I count correctly. Food for thought. |

Not quite so fast. If word302 is referencing the ERJs - there is a long line of CRJ-ERJ transitions, so you're going to be behind all of those guys (who want/can hold SEA/PDX), PLUS all the ERJ new hires from the fall/winter that also want SEA/PDX.

69 is not bad. Considering we are getting 34 Ejets this year.. Thats 230~ FO's needed on that aircraft.. And with The DL Ejets being "west coast" basing. Then sea/pdx/lax should be a good bet..
I know it is just rumor at this point, but does anyone think that the E-175 Delta bennies will only be for those 175 pilots in Delta bases? |
