Not sure how common that is, but based on the amount of people I know at Skywest and the number of times I’ve heard about the company working outside of seniority, I assumed it wasn’t uncommon. Maybe someone could correct me on that.

ya. They push back your class for “transition” to a different aircraft. But at least your pay protected. Ive seen FO’s flying 3 months on Captain pay. Or CRJ captains getting 175 pay... Rule of thump. Have. A 2-3 month window were you wouldn’t mind going to training...

totally know how to use it. And compared it to numerous other systems. It doesn’t work. If you think otherwise, you’re Management or a Koolaid Abuser.

And vacations don’t respect seniority either. Especially since only 3% of pilots can get available slots. A Joke. Don’t come to Skywest for seniority.

I have so many questions. (some probably very stupid questions)
Also I'm totally new to anything airlines.
Thanks

short - 2hrs and long - 12 hrs.
Commuting - You get on a plane and go to your base ideally the day before your reserve. You can utilize your actual flight benefits or jumpseat. You’ll have both available by the time you graduate training (they technically kick in before that).

Hey everyone, I'm currently contemplating going to SkyWest. I would like to fly the ERJ and would prefer to be based out West. Any thoughts on how long it could take to hold a line with SLC or PDX as a base?

What about other West Coast bases? I think BOI is going to new hires right now as well is that correct?

THIS! our PBS system is awful compared to many other airlines, it really does not respect senority.
