Default SkyWest LAX/SAN Base

Does SkyWest have an LAX CRJ Base? If so, is it senior/junior?

Also how senior is the SAN EMB Base?

SkyWest does have an LAX "reserve" base.....no lines out there really, everyone is on reserve. Very small domicile. Based on that, I would say it would be rather junior, but I could be wrong. SAN on the other hand, is very senior from what I'm told.

No RJs out of SAN, all EMB. The junior FO in LAX could hold MKE or ORD CRJ captain, the junior fo in SAN could hold CA in FAT or PSP.

Anyone: Another Eagle guy told me that if you make it through Eagles training program, that SkyWest just offers you a classdate with no interview because you made it through Eagles training. It sounds like BS to that but is there any truth to it? Thanks.

We had two eagle pilots in my CRJ class and they both interviewed like everybody else. I also have a friend you had been in the ERJ at eagle for 3 years and didn't pass the SKW interview.

No truth at all. If you are an ASA pilot you don't have to do the sim, that's the only exception. But there are plenty of ex-eagle people at SKW, so they seem to like them just fine (some of them had 5-6 years at eagle).

EMB CA in FAT/PSP is real junior, so SAN EMB FO is not that senior...

just curious...do you happen to know why these guys are ex-eagle people? Are conditions better at SKW? why would anyone give up 5-6 years senority to go to another regional?
