Perhaps. There's still a lot of movement in the right seat though with upgrades and attrition. Combine that with all of the new aircraft over the next 6 months on the west coast and there shouldn't be a long time on reserve.

The class date given conflicts with master vacation I was awarded, because SGU thought it convenient to cancel that for my class. Already sent emails to V and TG, but was curious if you guys had any other ideas for postponing upgrade.

If you have a very compelling reason to put the class off, TG may allow it. If you are able to put the class off, you will have a six month seat lock.

Thank you very much for that! All booked. I knew there would be an option I hadn't found. Cheers

They don't even know what is going to happen to Houston so I'm guessing they have no clue about aircraft

reserve
 
apologies if this has been asked already.... can anyone tell me how often you are required to be in the airport while on reserve with skywest? Trying to decide between skywest and envoy.
Thanks

Usually only at the end of a trip. And even then it isn't long. I've had 4 days that released at 930am and only ended up sitting ready for 45 minutes. I know people that have been assigned ready in lieu of a trip, but that doesn't seem to happen very often.

Yeah it happens but it's rare, and as mentioned it usually just comes at the end of a trip you were assigned to. Once in a blue moon you may get called up to sit ready but I wouldn't anticipate that being a frequent thing at all.

And to add, you don't get ready at the end of a normal trip. Only at the end of a trip if you are a reserve.
