Unfortunately, I feel we are left in the dark most of the time with communication from our management team (and SAPA if we are being honest). As I mentioned, the last email we got from TG (who is our Director of Flight Operations) with any class information was back on November 21st, 2015. We do get quarterly updates from our Chief Pilots with class info, but the last one we had was for Q1 and listed the last March class that I mentioned.

There may be some people in the training circles that could help, but as far as the general rank and file, we are left in the dark most of the time. Sorry I couldn't provide a better answer for you.

My questions to those who could offer advice..

1. How would I go about switching my class from the CRJ to the 717, or will they do it automatically?

2. If in a couple years would it be possible to switch to something larger or is it based on the integrated seniority.

3. Is the purchase to mean that Skywest will remain a regional but wholly owned like Envoy or are we Just part of Delta now?

4. Can I anticipate being paid on the current Skywest pay scale of will I be paid on the delta scale, when will that become effective?

Thanks for the questions!

If you are already on property, you just have to put in a standing bid. As long as there is not company need to keep you in the CRJ, you will get it when your seniority can hold it. However, if it will reduce training events, then it will just go to new hires.

Just ask yourself this question.
