Ioe wait time is dropping fast.. should “all but disappear” soon...

Any info about training like will we be there the whole time or will we be able to go home for a few days at some point?

Thanks

If you are doing the double occupancy, it's basically a one bedroom suite. It looks like a one bedroom apartment but the living area has one bed, there is a kitchen, bathroom, and a separate bedroom with a door.

Indoc is week 1, Monday through Friday.
Week two and three are systems. You get the weekends off. From day one to the end of systems, no days off except for weekends.

You may start sim the first day after systems, or you may have up to three weeks off before starting sim. It depends on what you bid and what is available.

During sim, you usually have 3-5 days in a row followed by 3-5 days off. Sim will last approximately 3 weeks.

What you choose to do with your weekends and days off is up to you.

It’s about time. The idea of using it as a holding cell for new FOs and CAs was making every other base suffer. Especially with the company continuing to take on more flying in SEA MSP and ORD

A new hire riding observation on my flight this week has been waiting 4 weeks and was told between 4-8 weeks.

Was that "more flying" announced somewhere? CRJ or ERJ?

I heard SKW won some EAS routes away from Boutique Air hence the jump in vacancies in DEN this month. Anyone else hear that?

Vernal and Moab have been confirmed. SkyWest also has a bid in for Liberal, KS; Kearney, NE; North Platte, NE; and Scottsbluff, NE. Out of Chicago, they have bids in for Greenbrier, WV (IAD and ORD), and Quincy, IL. Also, Pueblo, CO starts soon.

I don’t know the start date for Vernal but runway work needs to be done at Moab to accommodate the CRJ and that will be done in April.

If Boutique Air flies it, there's a good chance we're taking it.
