Couldn't that also be because the deliveries of ERJ's are coming to an end this summer (if they don't decide to get another 100 Ejets)?

I haven't heard there is a shortage of Ejet FO's. If that was the case, why a longer wait on reserve? Are you saying the longer FO reserve is because of a Ejet captain slowdown?

Think there's 10 deliveries or so between now and june

A recent 121 failure would almost certainly need to go build some more time and maybe do 135 before getting hired at SKW. I suppose anything's possible these days, but they have not made a habit of scooping up rejects from other regionals.

That said, the training program is more thorough and less arbitrary than some other places, so some folks will do better here with the structure than at other places. At some places it can come down to luck...if your sim partner sucks, you're hosed.
