Yes. You're seat locked for two years. Only exception is upgrade.

Right now only about 37 FO’s have there bid in for IAH. And not all of them its there first choice..(24 with it as there first choice).. CRJ has 36 in with IAH as a bid.. 9 as there first choice… I would guess it would be about the same time wise.. except they will clear out most of the ERJ bid list on opening with the 30. Not leaving many on the waiting list…

I just want to make sure I’m reading this right.

SkyWest is hiring 300 a month? Or training 300 a month?

That is a feat that even DL and AA and UA can’t accomplish.

Training 300 per month. They don't count until they're in class.

That is incorrect. Obviously depends on the month and class makeup, but ERJ is doing 160/month.
Two simultaneous classes (morning and evening ground/matrix) of 40 each two weeks.
The ERJ is maxed out on classes and the training dept is working crazy hours to keep up with demand.

I spoke to a sim check airman in the training department yesterday on my DH, and those are the numbers he gave me.

Yea, those were numbers from the projections a few months ago…
Those have since been revised. Either way, it’s a lot.
