This is no longer true for first officer trainees. Still true for captains, but too many pilots were unable to finish in their scheduled time and required their pairings removed for more training. Now your IOE must be completed and checkride signed off before your name will be put into PBS as a bidder. Finish IOE on the 7th and you're okay, finish on the 8th, you'll be placed on reserve for the balance of that month and have a reserve line built for the next as well. Welcome to the new skywest.

Your response to that be "so you've been violating policy all this time?"
Union would be, grieve it and we may get back to you at some point in time when you no longer care.
I'm pretty sure CA are the same. In my case I got to ask for pretty much everything I wanted , AM/PM , weekends off etc and to my surprise she built me a custom line with all my requests, was better than bidding. I'm sure it was only possible because we were overstuffed

How do you go about changing bases? Say, if you wanted LAX but were originally signed ORD as a new hire?

Hired in Oct....waiting for E-175 class
Will I ever get out of this pool....or should I just go CRJ whom they keep needing more people for.
Reason for E-175 (since they gave me a choice) was for location.
Or should I just keep calling and asking??
