From the looks of it, the guy needs to get a bachelors degree. Sorry bud but associates won't cut it no matter how much 121 TPIC time you have.

Maybe your attitude bespeaketh why.... You come into this thread accusing SKYW pilots of hurting your livelihood when in reality a select few of SKYW Inc. management are to be blamed.

I didn't accuse Skywest pilots of anything ..I said Skywest Inc..management not you guys..I have always been very cordial to pilots over the years..be it in hotel vans or when you guys have come for the jumpseat..it was not an attack on you..it was simply just to vent my displeasure at managements decision to slam the door on a great group of guys that have been doing this for a very long time. We got stranded at the regional level because of 9/11..the 08 meltdown and the age 65 thing. After all those years we became senior guys at a decent company. We make fair money, weekends off, holidays off, and decent vacation time. Thats where the apprehension to move on stems from. Again, it wasn't meant as an attack towards your pilot group.

Who has/does not have degrees at SkyWest?
What kind of degrees?
To make it easier...what's the percentage of pilots with degrees, without and Associates or Bachelors?

Just curious, why would you like to know, Student1? In the "olden" days, it was hard landing an interview at regionals like American Eagle without a 4-year degree. Nowadays...they will hire someone with two DUIs and felonies to boot.

I've flown with pilots without degrees and guys with masters degrees and everything in between. Mostly guys with 4 year degrees, all different kinds of majors.

Hey man I didnt have an attitude until those guys gave me a hard time about being dedicated to my company for almost 2 decades. I simply came here to see what the pilot group at my parent company was like and how they felt. Unfortunately I think I came across the only two dbags here.

Swapping reserve days
New FO here on the ERJ, ORD base. New to reserve life and full of dumb questions...I'll start with one:
Any tips for being able to swap reserve days with another pilot, or is that something which is happening at all right now? (Goal: Ideally I'd like to swap such that I can get 5 days off in a row one time this month).
From what I see, SkedPlus+ doesn't support anything related to reserve swapping. The PPM says it's allowed, but doesn't discuss logistics.
Would I already need to have coordinated myself with another pilot who is willing to swap, or does CS keep some kind of running list of reserve swap requests (seems unlikely)?
I was thinking I could call also CS to ask if I could cover a day where their reserve coverage is lower in order to get the days off I'd like?
Thanks guys.
