So like I said just trying to figure out how I can best accomplish this one thing getting few days off on either side of April 1 the day they are planning the party. Other than that I will work every day they want.

Or maybe you take a 6 month break right now. Enjoy the holidays and your birthday. If you go to class within 2 months from now you will most likely sit reserve for the holidays, probably commuting and a good chance of not being used. I want everyone to come to SkyWest, but in your situation I suggest take it easy for a little longer. If you are Midwest base, I hope to see you on the line, I have flown with a few second career guys who have been really enjoying SkyWest.

I am already scheduled for my interview next Friday. I backed out on an interview in June so I am reluctant to do that again.

Actually I am west coast, Seattle area.

I don't mind being away from home over the holidays just me and my spouse no kids. Sitting reserve in winter in Detroit sounds awesome :-) Well maybe not really but such is life.

Anyway as I don't have a lot of time left to fly for the airlines because of my age I am just going to apply and hope for the best in spring.

Thanks very much for the suggestion good advice but I am have so little time remaining to fly and don't want to miss the boat.

How many captain upgrades has Skywest been running per month? I'm trying to figure out how long it will be before upgrade. Using the ANY/DTW CRJ CA bids on the standing bid list to guesstimate. I wish there was some sort of designation on the bid list for the FOs that do not have 1000 121. Would make ballparking it much more accurate.

Wonder why bids are taking forever this month...

Probably in conjunction with the opening of the additional bases and all the new airplanes/flying they are adding it just takes a little longer.. ;)

Either:
A) Servers run slower on weekends.
B)The "B team" in there augmenting schedules.

The secret back way to look at the bids is working...

Seems the back door method is only working for West coast domiciles.
