You're right that you're paid from day one, but it would be really nice to accrue seniority getting paid to be at home

So in my mind the ideal case would be get called quick, short wait for class but once in class a long break between systems and sim, then another nice break until IOE. Get done with IOE in time to bid and go from there. I know that there is no way to control that, but if anyone is going through right now they'll have the best idea of if it's 2-3 days or weeks between things.

Ground to sim was 2 days

Sims to IOE for me was 3 weeks. 01/02 hire and it's dropping for a lot of my classmates

Thanks those responses​ were much more helpful than the Dbag ones I got initially which tarnish SkyWest's reputation.

You asked extremely vague questions that have no definitive answers. It's a case by case basis. Step 1 is to put your application in and it sounds like that hasn't happened yet. The person who invites you to interview will tell you all of the other information you need.

With DTW finally getting 700/900 flying and staffing on the rise with all classes going there lately, guys are getting lines out of IOE.
