Express Jet, And take your attitude to that forum.

Apologies, No attitude was intended. I am just trying to get some perspective. I have an interview with Express Jet and was reading their forum and SkyWest continually came up as a company that does business better than Express Jet. So I started reading this forum and see a lot of the same discontent. Like I say, just trying to get some different opinions. No attitude intended.

This was my original post. Only responses I got were regarding Houston, which I appreciate. Apparently I have offended some with the brevity of my follow up. Did not intend to, just looking for some perspective.

So, I have interviews scheduled with Express Jet and SkyWest. Reading both related blogs on here, there is a ton of hate and discontent on both. I get that, regional life isn't going to be the best. Just looking for any recommendations. I reside in the Orlando area, so if I were to get on with SkyWest, what is the situation at IAH as far as being able to get that as a base, upgrade time etc?

You're thinking of "replaced due to line constraints" in the reason report. CN says we know what you want but we need you to do this anyway. For example, if you bid a stretch of 20 days off without vacation, pbs will say I see what you want but it's not gonna happen. Here, have this min credit 4am report four day instead!

No disrespect. Come on man.

Keep in mind that most (not everyone) people that post on these forums are sour and don't like their jobs/where they work for various reasons. That's why you read about so much "hate and discontent". It's like looking at restaurant reviews online. Typically the ones that take the time to write a review are the ones that are really upset with their dinner/service. It's not as common for someone to review if everything was fine/as expected.
Anyway..
I would suggest Skywest over Expressjet. I think Expressjet is a good company with good people but I have friends there that were on reserve forever and upgrade times aren't good.
Skywest you won't have to be on reserve (aircraft and base depending) and upgrade is somewhere around 2.5 years as of right now (always subject to change of course)

RemoveB4Flight, thanks. That is the kind of info I was looking for.

How long to hold SFO or LAX as f/o on CRJ or ERJ?

A buddy of mine right out training on the ERJ got LAX. He wanted ORD base. So that was surprising to hear...

Thank you both for that.

I have just been accepted into OO so very excited to start and have dates for CTP and CRJ Ground School.

After DTW and MSP, what are the next most junior bases on the CRJ please?

Thank you
