Probably a tie between the B-737 and the 1900. It's close.

Staffing wise the CRJ by over a 3/1 margin. 180 to 50 or so on the FO side. This will change as the United crj 700s go away.

Yep. That and the EPL stuff SKW sent. Having a blast, though, and looking forward to meeting everyone!

What Can one Realistically expect to make at Skywest First year ? and Second Year ?

Add 3 0's to the hourly rate. There is your estimate. It also applies to EVERY OTHER AIRLINE WHEN YOU WANT TO ESTIMATE PAY!

Why, you can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

For second year and beyond, SKW bonuses and soft time (and 90+ hour months) add up such that a more accurate factor would be hourly rate x 1300. Assumes a line or flying a lot on reserve. If you could find a quite corner somewhere to sit reserve and not get called often you obviously won't make as much.

Question... A new hire FO, how long to hold TUS? I have a friend who lives in TUS and debating two companies.

That's not really that accurate. Someone hired into the 175 a year ago and based in Chicago may not even get 950 hours while someone hired into the CRJ and based in MSP might hit 1100-1200. Per diem could be a couple hundred per month more as well.

There is a key word in there.... its the word "estimate" haha
