Yea they visit every month to interview and talk to new Transpac instructors about Skywest but these visits are for a possible purchase of the company. Pretty interesting that Skywest would be getting into the flight training business. Be interested to see what the dynamic would be for Skywest.

It has been rumored for some time that an airline was buying TransPac.
My guess is it would be an 'Inc' purchase not an 'airlines' purchase.
That keeps the waters less muddy.

Being there are a few management pilots here at SkyWest that own flight schools I highly doubt they would be buying transpac...

It is. And it prepares you better for when you move on to a major airline.

That's gotta be it!!! I'm a tier 10 Delta candidate especially since I don't have any 175 experience .....

Keep telling yourself this, it will make you a better person too....
Don't forget to practice your "wind checks" in front of the mirror as well.
It's the flow for the ultimate F/O.

Yes. It flies like a jet that the real airlines have. The CRJs are too commuter like and too many people fly them.
