Can one get IAH out of training, if not how long to bid it?

Just wanted to chime in to keep misinformation from spreading:
I'm an LXJT FO that lives in DTW, trying to make the lateral move to SKW. Our management during a Q&A conference call, plus a SKW recruiter that I messaged with on FB both said that the program DOES NOT apply to an XJT/ASA pilot going straight to SKW.
It only applies to XJT/ASA/SKW pilots that have left for other carriers (legacy, LLC) and come back. XJT/ASA pilots are still eligible for the $7,500 bonus. Bummer for me, but I'll gladly lose a couple bucks per hour in pay for home base and an opportunity to actually upgrade.

Easy solution. Just leave XJT for an undesirable carrier that will hire you (alligient, spirit..etc)...do a few weeks and then quit and go back to SKW and upgrade real quick as you'll have the time ahead of the new hires with no time. Boom. Soft landing pay AND eventually move to a legacy.
If you're going to do that much work just for money, you may as well just keep an undesirable carrier like Allegiant....considering they make a hell of a lot more than Skywest does....

Are you able to pick whether you get the CRJ or the 175? Or do they use a OML to determine who gets what?

LMAO exactly. Plus the upgrade at those outfits isn't all too high. One year or less at G4. Leaving a LCC for a regional is downright stupid.

I think the soft landing policy is more effective for someone who doesn't make it through training for whatever reason and decides to come back to their regional.
