Anyone know the next few class dates for the 175? I'm eyeing Jan 2 CRJ, but am wondering if there is an early Jan 175, too.

Hi all, new hire here supposed to be starting CTP in DEC.

Can anyone clarify business casual ? The email listed what not to wear... I assume polos and khakis or similar will be ok ?

Also, I interviewed at a career fair so I didn't get the whole company presentation song and dance. With a few offers on the table I guess I'm just a little nervous I'm making the right choice.

With that said - is Skywest projecting any growth in the near future ? or is it just the 175 I read about? any other pertinent info about real life day to day a new hire with cold feet should know ?

thanks

"From The Top Rope....
We are considering another Ord crew room"

With the few Ord American pairings this month I'd have to guess this hints towards replacing the American 700s that went to PHX.

Or ?

Default E175 flight hours

How much actual flying do SkyWest ERJ pilots get? Trying to get it from the source. West coast preferably, PDX would be my pick, but any info is appreciated.

Have to pick the E175 or CRJ. Weighing out all criteria, but trying to understand the higher upgrade times on the ERJ and what to expect in logged hours/month.
I'm starting at zero jet time, most junior-junior.

Thanks!

As a line holder probably 60-80 block, credit more than that. How long to hold a line? No idea, we're getting 8 175s on the delta side alone between now and the end of the year so I would say pretty quick. Upgrade On 175 is a grey area. Ppl are getting it around 4 years and more but we're also staffing senior bases. They just started awarding it to Chicago ppl at 4 years so going down and like I said lots of 175s coming. Whole point is the 175 is in flux, the CRJ is as close to a certainty on reserve and upgrade times as you're going to get.

Don't worry about the upgrade time. If you go to the E175 as a new hire, you can still take an earlier upgrade on the CRJ.

15 ERJs are being added between now and the end of December.
Historical trends are kind of out the window.

Assuming that airframe is even around in a year or two. I have my doubts...
