Can anyone confirm that DTW is where the new hires are going? I have about two mil yrs left but am trying to track down regionals with DTW (hometown) as low seniority domiciles. Thx

Two years from now, this entire industry will look very different. Yes, SKW has a DTW domicile and it's junior, but two years from now? It's anyone's guess...

Yes, dtw is generally going to be the most junior. Ord has gone surprisingly junior recently, but basically dtw Ord and msp are usually going to be the most junior crj bases.

How does Skywest inspect logbooks for new hires starting class. I know they do it first week of class for those that don't have their ATP yet. Do they add up day and night to see if it equals total time? My logbook has + or - 5 hours where day and night don't add up to total time perfectly. On my last page I subtracted the error from total time to make it equal day and night. But all the pages before that will show some error. I don't want to mark every single page with scratched out and new ink, so I just made sure the last page everything added up right. Is that ok?

They will not have a calculator and start adding your night and day hours. They want to make sure you have the requirements, make sure you sure you show them the page where you corrected the times (annotation and your signature on the remarks).

Can someone please explain the Golden Day policy? How many do new hires get (if different than more senior pilots), how they are awarded, etc?
Thanks.
Thanks.

5 per year. Same for seniors and new hires. They are awarded by seniority. You need to request them (via Skedplus+) before the 1st day of the month priot to the month you want them. Pretty much gives you an extra day off. If you are on reserve and the golden day falls on a day of reserve, you can either take that extra day off, but 4:12 hours will be taken from your user/vacation bank, or move the reserve day to another day in that bid period (this has to be requested before the 24th of the month prior). Sucks when you are on reserve, as a line holder it gets better.

Got it, thanks. 11 is the min days off for both reserve and line holders, as well, correct? Thanks, I appreciate the info as I try to decide on which offer to take.
