I'm crossing my fingers for PDX for reserve in Jan. Looks like SFO now I gather though...

Does not account for senior people bidding reserve, leave, etc. Happy obsessing.
How long does it take to get from ground start date to IOE? About 4 months? So those guys I'm seeing starting Feb that are just getting a line at MSP really is about 5 months on reserve. Can't complain with that I assume?
How much reserve will be on call compared to ready reserve at the airport? I have no complaints with waiting a few months at home and chillin to get my line.

I'm 3/28/16 class and still a good 10 short of a line in MSP. I do however have a buddy who was in my same class and transferred to DTW last month and got a composite line.
We are just way overstaffed right now. More flying to accommodate would be nice. Because min pay (training/reserve) for a year is not a happy place.

Is 20% reserve on both airplanes and both seats overstaffed? How about we are properly staffed for the first time since 2013 and guys still can't get time off. Block hours are higher this December than last. We are not far below summer month block hours.
Plugs should see it bodes well that skyw can still hire enough to cover these high block hours and keep the wheels from coming off. Long game>short game.
In a hurry for 4on2off?
I'd rather my wife knuckle my nuts than fly a line in 'Minne'

Curious as to where most of the pilots who move on from skywest are going? Mostly Delta, or UA, AA, and others.
