2 yrs is for the guys that got hired two years ago. New guy 4100 out of 5000 might not be so fortunate. Unless you guys never stop hiring l

Still two years is great compared to what it used to be even if you have to move to Detroit to get it. I think I would wait an extra year for the 175 and be West coast based.

Considering the big three are projected to hire over 1000 each, even if you say American won't take many that still doesn't include people going to fed ex, ups, southwest, frontier, jet blue and spirit. So comfortably we can say 3000 people industry wide are moving on. I would hazard about 500 are Skywest, that would mean we need to hire 40 a month just on attrition, nevermknd that we're growing. My point is SkyWest will be hiring indefinitely unless something huge comes down the line like a lot of aircraft leaving. Even then we'd need to lose 3 aircraft a month to not hire, that's a lot for us.

I think we these upgrades will stand for a long time barring any unforeseen event. Most junior ord is 7/28/2014 on last award. 175 is junior west coast but don't think that'll last forever. If I was upgrading now I'd take CRJ to avoid reserve.

Attrition is 30-40 a month. That alone keeps upgrades around 3 years for the forseable future.. and all these 2-3 year upgrade guys will be out of here fast.. ot like in the past with the 5 year upgrades that stay another 5-15 years...

Just to be clear - all ER7 upgrades were awarded to ORD. Only west coast CA slots were transitions of verrrrrrry senior people.

And just a few months ago ORD was senior for ER7 CA, everything is constantly changing at this point.

Junior Captain our of the four west coast ER175 domiciles is still at 4 1/2+ years. The only awards this time around were for a couple to LAX and the junior guy is at 28 years. One CRJ award at 15 years.

The west coast bases are primarily occupied by the lifers and a good majority won't be going anywhere. They are pretty much filled up now with the deliveries we've had planned and new positions out there won't be as plentiful. ORD on the other hand has always been junior filled mostly by guys looking to move on (as well as MSP).

I believe it's 8 more175s by June, and ORD aren't getting any. So 8x16 = 128openings west coast, or 64 a side. Look for BOI base before end 2nd quarter
