From everything I've heard that sounds like the best thing to do. Just try to get a class date before they phase it out (which I hope they won't, since I think it's presence stabilizes ASA's contract with Delta (i.e. Delta can do those routes for cheaper with oil north of $80/barrel than they can with 50 seaters)).

I said I love to fly props and Skywest has the Bro right? and also I'm living in san diego but a little short on the multi total for Skywest.
That's why I was asking about the ATR at ASA I wouldn't mind to move to the east coast.
10 months well a little info about that, i broke my neck last year and Im getting back to be current medical and on the air...so I guess it will take me a little bit more than if I were 100%.

So if your the youngest in the class bid the ATR? Not 200?

Well if you want to fly the jet, bid the 200. You get a preference bid. So you can bid 200, ATR, 700 if you want or any order. Bid what you want, let seniority do the rest

The interactive routemap on the website is decent since it lists typical equipment on routes...just in case you're nerdy and get that detailed on what you're gonna shoot for (esp. if you're older and have a good chance of getting what you bid for).
