Yes, that's what it means to not have a contract/union.


I mean really, why have some pesky written document when management can just make rules and policy as they please?

Quick question guys

Does anyone know if my Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating needs to be "Current" coming over from Australia? Or do I just need to have one?

As they are perpetual, I'm wondering if the SIM check at the end of training covers me for recency? or is there a clause somewhere stating my Australian MECIR must be current at the time of the check to be able to convert it to a US one and make it current?

Would save me a few $$$ if I didn't need to do an IPC (its what we strange folk in the land down under call an Instrument Proficiency Check, is it the same there?) before I come over.

Thanks very much! :confused:

I’m guessing that you are talking about the ERJ upgrade dropping to around 2 years over the course of the next few DVRs. Does not look like it will get there on this one.

Good catch. The new year will make it three years.
The fake news I give.

:D #fakenews.

I was more curious if you saw something I was missing :cool:

Regardless, happy holidays to everyone.

The SkyWest company upgrade policy of 2,500 fixed-wing hours is now under review for revision.

I predict upgrade will increase on 175 as Chicago grows. Chicago is most likely getting delta benefits, senior folks that commute but can’t stand to lose delta benefits will be tempted. Especially if you’re commute is delta base to delta base currently ( slc-msp/dtw)

I wonder where all that flying came from.

It's an IPC here too. Normally you need to be current to get hired at any airline, but not sure if they apply that to foriegn certs.

You would not need to be current to take sim training and a rating checkride in a sim. Upon completion, the ATP and type rating would reset all of your currency.

You'd better ask SKW recruiters though. It would probably be better for you to be instrument current.
