I never said they don't advertise them, but per the policy manual they aren't approved....

Fortunately in this case the ppm is proven to be more of a list of guidelines than rules

I was awarded a composite line for January. When do they typically fill in the reserve days? Trying to plan for next month. Thanks. In spirit of the latest trend in the thread. I only wear the hat while sitting at home on reserve. It helps me think.

They'll show up on Sked+ on the 24th when your pairings are up.

Read the above posts about the special circles of SKYW reserve, I would commute cross 3 time zones to avoid reserve, but only because I have spent a total of 3 years on reserve......2 of them were in base, I hated every frustrating minute of it.

You can always email your adjusted bid contact and request the days you want. worked 90% of the times on my side.

Yup!, As a CA, an enduring tool.

The first Edmonton walk around in Jan will disclose the folly of fashion vs utility.

There are actually quite a few uniform possibilities, the local Police/Fire uniform stores have plenty of choices. Just get uniform pants in charcoal black, a lot of "black" pants are really dark navy blue, been buying pants from Galls online for years, save your allotment for shirts.
If you are going anywhere north of the US/Mexico border during the winter months pack a modern watch/beany cap and some fleece gloves, which will insure that your head won't suffer brain freeze and you wont do your walk around wearing Air Force gloves.

Thanks again all.

Just to clarify: I'm very proud of our piloty positions, just a little self-conscious.
My old job I wore my flight suit (flag and patches and crap) into a coffee shop a couple times - was hard to relax and it kind of stressed me out.

At least the airline regalia fits in a crowd, as long as it's subdued. That's what I'm aiming for.
I'm just here to fly.

Ok? In bases reserve isn't bad, but to each their own

Does Skywest allow you to interview and receive a conditional offer before reaching ATP minimums? If so, how early should I apply and could I get a class date upon accepting the offer? (Not including the cadet program)
