Thanks. Found it on the website too. A little surprised.

Yes, there are 210 FOs listed at MSP. The May and June hires start around 117-210, and the majority of those are still in IOE. Half of those should be off of IOE sometime this month or so.

This is a wide spread anomaly right now, ORD is the same, we have something like 165 CA listed on the new DVR, I know 1-125 are qualified, the rest are in IOE, theres a few that are coming to ORD that are in TRG and then some that got awarded. Some people are on the seniority list from the moment they join class, some aren't till midway through IOE, its not a conspiracy that they think some will pass and some will fail its just the way it happens. For some reason they are dumping 42 FOs in MSP on the new DVR I think we can all agree that something is happening in ORD and MSP, staffing is way up.

I would say we are getting United flying in the very near future, part of the 18 they added, I would speculate at least 10 of those are going to LAX since no one has mentioned anything about displacing the crews that were flying the Eagle stuff there.

I would also suggest that American flying is very likely on the 175 with the uncertainty of RAH.

I don't think it's a conspiracy in any way. I just think it is an anomaly that on our DVR we report 100% more pilots in a base than what are currently bidding. I know this is why we are not doing any upgrades for 2 months. Question is, what are we doing to our present behavior for different results in the future? LCA's are hard to train and get on the line. I'm sure we have a pretty good chunk of the 400 Delta pilots swimming in the pool, not to mention the other airlines we are losing pilots too (Allegiant, United, UPS, ect..) So we stop upgrades for 2 months to catch up with FO's, but then we get behind on CA's. I know during the pay package votes SGU needed to say everything was fine so we didn't think we had any type of upper hand, but it would be nice for someone to acknowledge that we are behind. When nothing is said it seems like either you are hiding things or don't know. Either option is bad for our leadership.

There is no doubt we are planning on getting more flying. Either from someone losing it or other flying to be awarded. But I don't look at that as a good thing. I would love to be able to cover our current flying without running everyone at 110%. When that happens, I will be glad to see more flying coming our way.

Thank you!

All, I am in the 26 Oct class and was wondering about two things. First, what headset do you recommend for the CRJ.
Second, how do you all log time? Logbook, App? If app, which one?

Thanks in advance....

That's not true.

Headset? Whatever you have. I use the same Bose X set that I use in GA flying. I've seen guys with Bose Xs, A20s, Lightspeed Zulus, Clarity Aloft, and a few David Clarks.

As for time logging...it's all logged for you in our scheduling app, just click on 'Crew Time Report.' I should probably get around to transferring all my Skywest hours into my actual logbook...

Welcome aboard! Whatever you do, don't look too closely at the burgers they serve late at night at Lofte's...

Bose with a uflymic. I had the aviation Bose and it was a waste of money.

I still use a paper logbook.

WesternSkies

Uflymic. Ugh.
If you are a person I like, sure I'll spend four days blowing my ears out with white noise to hear what you are saying. But otherwise you will need to say everything twice to me while holding the mic closer to your mouth.
