I was talking to a Skywest captain and he mentioned that they had lost the American contract. Is this accurate? Not flaming

Crash pads are few and far between in SLC. I rented a room off of Craigslist.

I've been in the cadet program with Skywest flight instructing for nearly a year now and am getting close to submitting an application, however I still have not yet completely made up my mind on Skywest but I am certainly leaning towards them. I've heard a Denver or Houston base is possible after 4-5 months from start of class which are probably the two bases I am most interested in. How long can you expect to sit reserve after transferring to one of these bases? I'll be commuting and would prefer to commute to a line as quickly as possible rather then commuting to reserve.

I would plan on 6 months of reserve. You can never tell with movement. Sometimes it's fast sometimes it slowes down.

Thanks, that was kind of what I was thinking. I've heard commuting on reserve isn't exactly a fun time. I'm assuming it's ORD and MSP where you'll get a line the quickest?
