Can't answer your question, but under the current policy, I'd be very wary of working at SkyWest as a rotorhead since they require 2,500 fixed-wing hours to upgrade (not 2,500 hours total time that every other regional outfit adheres to). Unless you plan on making a career at SkyWest, I'd stay away. TSA is out of DEN as well...

ERJ Capt is down to 2 year 10 month. BOI award.

Wow.
It will be interesting to see how low it goes when they start adding ERJ pilots in ORD again for the new Delta aircraft.

Or is ORD still over staffed on ERJ? The list looks like it was gutted.

I'm not seeing that. I see it at 3 years, 9 months.

I see it as about 3.1. I think the person you’re looking at is a cadet and that is not their bidding seniority.

Not sure where the 2 years 10 months is coming from though.

That's good to know; just checked them out. Looks like another avenue of approach...

You're right, I see that now. Still not quite 2 years 10 month. It could drop to that once the deliveries start picking up mid 2018
