Look at how many targeted line holders. Let's just pretend it's sixty. Look at the seniority list and copy number sixty's employee number down. Go to the employee directory at the top of the page and paste the number in the correct box and search. That will give you a date of hire. This will give you worst case for a guaranteed line. Does not account for senior people bidding reserve, leave, etc. Happy obsessing.

haha! Thanks for all the info guys. Even looking at some of those bases that you can hold a line faster like SFO it's only by a month or two, nothing really game changing drastic.

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.

This is certainly news to me. What was the DOH for the most junior DTW lineholder?

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'

Yeah kinda, you get a lot of short legs on the 200 that block less than an hour, which means you end up doing 4-5 sometimes 6 of them a day for what ends up being at or just over the min credit of 4:12. On a typical 4 day it usually averages out to 4 legs per day for 5 hours of credit. DTW opening has helped with efficiency a little but it could still be better. MSP standups are generally pretty great though, much better than most other bases but that is why they go relatively senior. Overall it's a tough base to build pairings for, especially with so many commuters, that's why there are always so many 4 days.

Junior base is relative as to what you are wanting now. Junior as in a makeup of mostly junior pilots is MSP, ORD, DTW. Junior as in when you can hold a line first is FAT, PSP, and SFO.

So long time to upgrade out of FAT? What are the trips like out of that base?

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

Looking at "life after Skywest" facebook page it's mostly delta followed by united
