Any pointers? Who do I notify if I get called? CS? My base CP?
I think i wrote a letter to the CP too. CS will give you a little home work and have you fax in the summons so they know it's legit. They will remove you from a trip if needed. I had a pm show and was dismissed in the AM so I kept my trip and didn't have to mess with pay. Your case sounds different with a big block possible dates.

Do yourself a giant favor, call them and tell them you'll take the CRJ. You'll thank me later. I accept cash, check, and paypal.

On the topic of insane flight attendants, i.e. the United chick to blow the slide and toss her bag out...

Has anyone else noticed how our flight attendants, specifically Chicago, continue to go down hill? Under educated, crass, whiny, and above all else would most likely become more of a hindrance than a help in an emergency?

Don't get me wrong, there are a few good ones, a few. People is wonder why this crazy flight attendant stuff happens, but look at the disgustingly poor quality of 90% of the FA hires.

But the CRJ doesn't have auto throttles

Perfect storm of millennial, ghetto, and sub-walmart wages. At my base I'm thankful to fly mostly with granny's...who were pretty hot when they were hired 30+ years ago. Responsible adults who know what they're doing.

I have an interview date with both Compass and SkyWest coming up and am hoping to get offers from both. From you SkyWest guys, what made you decide this airline vs. Compass now that they pay about the same? I dont care which plane, just whatever gets my wife and I back to the Northwest the fastest. I applied when I saw Skywest had the PDX base. The pay's better than Horizon too so I didn't even apply there. I'll keep updating as I get done with the interviews starting next week!

I was kind of split between compass and Skywest but I went with Skywest because I live in one of their bases (DEN) and I got DEN pretty quickly out of training. That's pretty much what it came down to. From my class it was taking guys 6 months to get PDX and 10 months to get SEA.
