Very appreciated! I'm guessing those 60-80 hours block represent the most senior? I'm concerned about the low end for most junior. I know it's impossible to guess with the new 175s coming, but I'm just checking what I can for now. Know anyone who is very junior at a 175 base (and if so can you ask them how much they fly)? 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.

Do I understand this correctly: Skywest pays bonuses - and these are worth up to $10K/year?
Pilot Profit Sharing pays out starting in the first year and pays out twice a year. It's based off the number of hours you work in the six month period it covers and whether you are in the right or left seat. I'm guessing again on the FO amount but maybe $1000 every six months. Captains get more. |
Got a CJO a few days ago and will be starting early 2017. I requested the CRJ and I'm more than a two hour drive from both DTW and ORD. I've heard both are junior for the CRJ and I could most likely get either one right out of training. I'm assuming ORD is a larger base, but since they're both about the same distance from where I live, are there any pros or cons to deciding between DTW and ORD?

You are turning down a $60,000 a year paycheck based out of ORD to go to work for Skywest making 33,000?

Pay really is not everything, and the people I know at envoy are being used and abused. I can't help but feel like something will be done here at SkyWest to continue to attract new hires though. The pay difference is fairly large at this point and what attracted me here was the ability to be based where I live out west.

You seniority may improve faster in DTW, but the flying is probably better in ORD (depends what you want). A great deal depends on where flying moves (UA 700s going away, AA 700s joining the fleet, DTW final size not yet determined). As an FO you should be able to transfer into either base on a monthly basis, so if you feel like changing your mind you can with little trouble.

Dual class flying for DTW people will probably be a near term announcement that changes things.
