I like doing the PIB-MEI shuffle that we just picked up. (If you haven't done PIB, you should. Driver meets you with beverages and lets you drive his Mercedes around town during your layover) It's been pretty full every day this week. They had to buy someone off yesterday in MEI and taxi him/her over to JAN. I'm surprised we don't do more double hops for many of our at risk and EAS routes. They seem to fill the plane better (i.e. less subsidy needed) and helps with crew staffing.

Smart money stayed relatively flat. Look, no one is telling you not to dump your entire wad into Skywest stock, go right ahead. It's your money to risk as you see fit. Come back and talk to me in 5 years, after the entire regional industry has been turned upside down and inside out. I'm pretty confident that Skywest won't see another 300% jump.

Of course not because we're likely close to the top of a bull market.

6-12 months. Somewhere in that range.

The junior FO in Houston was hired in January 2017. They just awarded four FO slots in IAH last month. Houston has shrunk considersbly, not sure how stable it will remain so it is impossible to predict how long it might take to get in. It is CRJ only at this time.

Looking around at the different regionals, and initially Skywest is the most attractive as I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and all things equal like to stay here. I imagine SFO is realitivly junior but can anyone provide any insight on how long it would take to get based in SFO? Is most of the flying out of sfo CRJ or ERJ and what are the typical trips out of SFO look like? When the time comes down the road is SFO any different on the captain side for seniority?

Sorry if these have been asked before
