Need advice
#51
Hey Jetjock16. How was the ground school on the emb. Is it true the systems are pretty complex. The thing thats making me think about going into the pool is that I know the CRJ systems really well and will have a type and some hours going into training. Also, Im trying to get some feed back on the Brazilia. Whats it like to fly, how do you like it.

Congrats- Wise Choice! A quick couple of questions for all of you knowledgeable folks
Congrats on Skywest!
I am an extremely low time pilot (98.1 TT). I know...I know- what am I doing on this board? I have read this entire thread and have found that you guys certainly know what you're talking about so who better to ask?
Please take a look at my info
- 98.1 TT
- 23.1 ME (1.2 PIC ME)
- Working on Inst Rating now
- Working on Commercial immediately after Inst
- Working on ATP written now
- Following all of that, should have around 350 TT (?? ME)
- Currently have BA degree in Finance / Accounting
- Working on Master's
Not-so related:
- 1,800 hrs in back of helo as Navy rescue swimmer
- CRM Instructor for Navy squadron
- Squadron NATOPS Instructor
- 10yrs in Navy
- Squadron Standardization Board Member
I aspire to get hired at a good and secure Regional, such as Skywest. I know that I still have quite some time remaining until that is realistic, but would love to hear anyone's advice about the best way to get there. Here are a couple of questions:
1. Can someone please tell me a ballpark figure as to their actual take-home pay? I have been studying the pay rules, but have no idea what you guys actually make. Currently I make around $65k/yr. I know that I will take a drastic pay cut...just want to know how much.
2. What is Skywest pay rules?
3. I have a former flight instructor at Skywest who has offered to recommend me. How much weight does that have, if any?
4. Since I have a little while, is the hiring expected to continue through the next few years? I was hoping to be marketable within the next 9 months. Is that realistic?
I really...really appreciate you taking the time to read all the above and posting a response. I will read every reply.
Thanks!
