A typical CRJ 4-day can involve 20 legs (my record is 23), crediting 18 hours. Given that CRJ guys are being required to fly 90 credit hours per month, some quick math shows that many CRJ guys are getting 11 days off with 90 hrs credit.
On the 175, a 4-day might involve 8 legs with 25 credit, with a requirement of 75 hrs/month. So you're working 12 days and off 18 days, while the RJ guy is doing just the opposite.
As my buddies on the 175 tell me, "It's like a totally different airline."

...and why is it that everyone's so silent about the fact that all CRJ FOs on property have had their Jungle Bus transition bids bypassed till an August award / September class date? Meanwhile new hires continue to get that airframe assigned while some very senior FOs are being bypassed for the entire summer flying season.
Not a peep from SAPA. They're too busy doing...whatever it is they do.

SAPA is, well, SAPA, they scurry around trying to look busy. But never manage to get anything done unless it benefits the company.....

Hey guys, have a class date coming up and I'm wondering what (if any) paper manuals SkyWest makes you carry on the CRJ. Just wondering because I'm looking at flight bag options to use when I'm on the line. Thanks!

There's plenty of 175 flying if you hold a line. The reason guys want to come over is because of the vastly better trip quality in the 175 and the lower block hour requirements.
A typical CRJ 4-day can involve 20 legs (my record is 23), crediting 18 hours. Given that CRJ guys are being required to fly 90 credit hours per month, some quick math shows that many CRJ guys are getting 11 days off with 90 hrs credit.
On the 175, a 4-day might involve 8 legs with 25 credit, with a requirement of 75 hrs/month. So you're working 12 days and off 18 days, while the RJ guy is doing just the opposite.

How much flying is typically available to a new hire? I'm currently in DFW but planing on moving to Chicago once I start. Is it realistic to assume that a new hire can get 90+ hours a month? That would certainly help live on FO pay. I'm still months out so obviously a lot can change, but I'm just trying to get a general idea on how things are going right now.
