Respectfully disagree. Jan 2012 hires upgrade in this upcoming March class. You expect to upgrade through all the FOs we hired in 2012 (lots) in four/five months (July/August)?
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.

Which domicile is closest to your mom's basement?

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

I can imagine it now. "Hey Captain, I'm ___ and I'm taking your jumpseat today. Also, when you get a second, a crew meal and a letter of recommendation would be great. Thanks."

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).

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.
There are currently ~69 people on the transfer/transition lists who want SEA or PDX first, if I count correctly.
Food for thought.

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..

It will be nice if we can start to put the West back in SkyWest. It will be nice to see some movement in our west coast bases.

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?

I actually expect PDX to be the second most junior ERJ base before the end of the year.
