B) Alaska 700s from Skyw airlines are being transferred to your airline (guessing by user name) for your recently awarded AA flying.
C) Alaska bought inc yesterday.

Looks like Friday-Power was engaged. (Or tailwinds)

Yes. Mil time counts for the 2500TT, but not for the 1000 121/135.

Flightaware shows the aircraft at Dulles now. Parked out on the remote pad underneath the ATC Tower.

I thought perhaps it was being used for pilot recruitment, but the SkyWest pilot recruitment doesn't show any events in ATL yesterday or Washington DC Area today.

Saw in the news, Congress is slaping the airlines right now.... Sure Hats the reason CC and crew are in IAD..

Fake news. That's ridiculous, nobody would do that.

Unless it was a joke, Bro crew used to refer to CRJ crew as "SKW Mainline", and now the ERJ is "mainline" compared to the CRJ...but it's a joke.

Well, yes. Speaking as a CRJ guy, I'm getting a bit miffed with Skywest Mainline taking all our flying...

...but as you said, it's a joke.

Looking to make the jump to 121. Id like to make an informed decision without the bias of a recruiter.

Pay: This would be a paycut, however it looks like there is a bonus of $7500 for previous 135 experience. I've also heard that there is a bonus for taking the CRJ instead of the ERJ. Can anyone confirm?

Base: I live in LA. "Right now" how long is it taking to get to LAX on the CRJ or ERJ.

Line/Reserve: Right now, how long is reserve for the most junior base on the ERJ and CRJ. How long is reserve in LAX on the CRJ and ERJ

Upgrade: At present what is the upgrade time for both airframes at their respective junior base and LAX.

Thanks for any assistance.

The 135 experience is ONLY if you are leaving 135 for SKW.

The 175 class that finished training in January was the last class to get into LAX. Some just got a composite lines this month. Some will perhaps go back to a full reserve schedule for June considering if LAX opens up at all, there are about 5-8 people senior to them who will get in, and bump them back to RSV.

That's what I can deduce. There are a lot.. a lot of FOs in ORD on the 175 that are waiting to get to the West coast.

Too lazy to look at upgrade times but that gets answered often and maybe in this forum somewhere recent.

First time poster long time reader here, I have an interview with SkyWest coming up in the near future. I have been reading the numerous gouges but just came across one that hopefully isn't an overly common situation over at Skywest Airlines Pilot Interview Profiles

I am probably over thinking it, but has anyone had any experiences like this guys interview in April during their interviews? sounds like its either the interviewer was having a bad day or possibly it has been dramatized a little bit?

Thanks guys! fingers crossed. It's got me spooked!
