SkyWest ?’s
Ok, here’s the deal…I ordered a leather jacket 3 months ago and am being told that it will be at least until the end of March before I receive it. I will be flying out of ORD (doesn’t really matter where I am flying out of) and have no way to stay warm. The “pullover sweater” isn’t going to do it, the blazer isn’t going to do it…the fleece lined zip up sweater seems like it may be a good solution but just want to make sure we are authorized to wear it.
Here’s the deal… your safety is paramount.
If you are not able to get sufficiently warm uniform pieces due to backorder/supply chain issues, get whatever you can get your hands on that is close enough to the approved attire and wear it.
If anyone gets on your case about a non-approved uniform item tell them to pound sand…. Politely.
You’ll be just fine.
Lack of in stock uniform items isn’t an excuse for the company to force you to freeze.

Just email your chief and tell them that you have a jacket on order but it won’t be shipped due to supply chain issues and therefore you will be wearing your Patagonia puffy until the leather jacket arrives unless he has any other viable solutions.

two technically, there is a company approved zip up sweater not covered by the allotment.

Anyone know where I can get one of the nice looking Skywest lanyard that have the buckle/clip about halfway down them? Ordered one from crew outfitters and it came as a tiny lanyard and not the one I see people wearing

Also kinda curious. I got a blue skywest one from my cadet intro 2 years ago, but apparently, they want black ones now and I havent seen anyone with the blue one yet.

Can a few of you provide some numbers as to what you were able to earn as a first year FO? I’m taking a pay cut coming to SkyWest and I’m looking to see how much of that gap I can close. I have a CRJ class date soon and I live in Denver. I’m hoping to get based in Denver so I can pick up extra trips. Thanks!

Nailing down the exact pay depends, and your results may vary. During training, you receive 65 hours of pay a month at $46.82 an hour which equates to $3,043 a month. Once you graduate training, the minimum pay goes up to 76 hours a month so that comes out to $3,558 a month.
The long standing rule of thumb is to take the hourly rate and multiply it by 1,000 and that is an approximation of what you will make in one year, after you’ve graduated training. If you were to apply that model, then you’re looking at approximately $47,000 the first year. (Again, after you graduate training.)
This year will have some outliers though that could effect your overall pay. For starters, OO is forecasting that they will not make a profit this year, which means that PPS (Pilot Profit Sharing) may not take place. Again, the amount of PPS varies, but going by OO’s website, that would normally equate to an additional $3.51 per hour that you might not receive as a semi-annual bonus. But again, no one can predict that until we get there and see if OO actually makes a profit or not.
It is a little early to factor this in for the data you’re looking for, but how much of a pay raise we receive leading into 2022 will obviously effect things. It is always possible that pay raise could come early, but I personally think the odds of that happening are small so I would not count on it until the start of 2022.
And of course, like you said your ability to live in base and pick up extra trips will effect your overall pay as well. Every person is different, but given that you will already be working either 18 or 19 days a month, it is a pretty safe assumption that if you’re hungry, then you might be able to pick up an average of 4 additional days per month of work. Could you do more? Sure, but necessary rest to avoid burnout is a very real thing plus there are the Part 121 duty limitations as well. So in the end, maybe factor in an extra 3 or 4 working days a month which might give you an extra $500-$900 of pay a month, maybe.
Again, everyone will vary, but I would suggest that once you are out of training and at DEN, you could expect to earn between $3,900 and $4,400 a month.

Caveat: I am awaiting training too. I am basing this info off the research I have done, but I am not an active OO pilot.
