You can expect till your blue in the face but scope protection and mainline taking back the flying will leave you seriously disappointed and also leave lots of people wondering what happened to their seniority,

He does provide us good entertainment though!

Debating coming to Skywest. Looking for either a DTW or LAX base. Just wondering if its only CRJ 200 in DTW and pretty much reserve if you get LAX E175?

DTW is all 200's for now. Junior base, quick movement. We also have a lot of Crj flying out of LAX still (American, Delta, United). My guess is you'd hold LAX Crj faster than LAX 175 but who knows with how fast things are moving... Not sure about the SAN commute but there is pretty high frequency.

DTW will be getting some 700/900 flying soon, but the 200 does lots of short hops to upper Michigan. LAX has a wide variety of flying. I'd choose the CRJ for the flexibility for either base. You can always transfer each month.

Hey I know Skywest has Ejet bases in SEA and PDX for Alaska. ORD, SFO, and DEN for United. What about Delta? SEA maybe? And if one flies the Ejet, does he/she fly for all three airlines on the Ejet or just one airline or does it all depend on where you are based for the Ejet and how the trips are built? Hope that makes sense. Just curious.

I'm setting up my interview this week and still having trouble keeping my finger on the pulse with IAH & DEN. I live in Houston but I'm afraid to bid CRJ with IAH shrinking. So DEN would be my next smartest option, right?
Also brings up the idea that maybe just doing DEN/Ejet would be a smarter option than DEN/CRJ (with the hopes of getting IAH later)

I wish I could have my cake and eat it too. Seems like IAH isn't a smart move but I'm trying hard to see if I can realistically make it work.

Den and ord are both united hubs so commuting from Iah is tough. Dtw would be easiest.

You may have a different experience, but they were only offering CRJ classes to the recent batch of guys that interviewed. They said the only guys getting the Ejet were current employees bidding for it. Obviously that'll change when more come online.
