My response was implying that’s barely the actual reason. I read the RSR report from DP. E175 flying shifts to SLC and SLC 900 flying shifts to MSP. I most certainly didn’t miss the part where he stated it’s expected to continue through the summer and MIGHT end in the fall. Delta calls the shots on what A/C they desire us to fly out each domicile. The company is just responding accordingly. I’m not worried about it, but I will be if business travel out of MSP doesn’t start coming back, or construction takes longer than normal around the G gates, which is the actual reason the E175 block hours disappeared. We don’t own those C gates, Delta does, and it appears they decided the mainline jets will be operated out of them until at least the fall.

Hey guys, I got a couple questions. First, is Skywest still double occupancy for training? I saw one forum post that said it's single now but their website says double still. And if it's single is it temporary for covid or is there a new policy?
Second, when you get awarded a base is it possible for a more senior pilot to then kick you out of that base if they decide to move? And how frequently does bidding for bases occur?
Thank you!

As a fellow cynic you’d think I’d have got that.

I start soon. I indicated I would share but now on skywest online its saying I get my own. On the forms it had us check if we wanted single or double. If we said single we were expected to pay half. So I'm pretty stoked to get my own and not have to pay. No idea if its covid or just luck. I've been a cadet a while and am a lady. So its possible theres only a few of us and I was most senior.
