Skywest seems interesting. How do you guys who work there now enjoy it?
Good so far. No complaints, then again others have them. There are bad and good days of course.

Whats the upgrade time to Captain?
Less than two years and dropping in ORD and especially DTW. Not sure about MSP. Out west it's much longer. That of course applies to the CRJ. For the ERJ I believe it fell down to three years in ORD. That could of course change, these things are ever changing.

How long are you on reserve as an FO and what are your "junior" bases?
Minimal in DTW, four months in ORD for the CRJ, like a year for the ERJ in ORD. No clue about the rest.

When is your contract up and how well do you feel it is now?
Which contract?

I'm an east coast guy, originally. So i'd like to stay near this side of the coast for a base (IAH/ORD)
Pick ORD or DTW. IAH is still open, but it has shrunk significantly and no one knows whether it will stay open or regain its former glory.
