All well and good for now sir. But when the Airbus show up at United and replace regional flying this year and if they get the EMB 190s on property which is looking likely, Skywest will shrink as will many other regionals. Doesn't make a difference how many pilots we are hiring. We are at the mercy of the majors. I want to be ready. I don't want to be stuck in the right seat for 7 years slipping backwards
When you say "we are at the mercy of the majors", are you referring to yourself and all your troll buddies playing flight sim in your mom's basements?

No. I'm saying when United announces the 100 seat RJs in the next few weeks, we will eventually lose flying. And when they get their Airbus craft this year to replace flying, we will lose flying. Then my upgrade will get farther away. Which is why I am looking at my options. Don't want to be a lifer like the rest of you.

I've never been able to figure out the DVR. It'll come out with, say, 0 FO vacancies in DEN and 5 in PHX (or whatever), but then when the awards come out, there'll be 8 new FOs in DEN and 1 in PHX. The DVR seems to have little relation to what's awarded. What am I missing?

I didn't mean to suggest that there is a conspiracy. You just don't know how the bids play out. So the LAX ERJ slots are filled but not all (transition) class dates are filled as there were plenty of transfers.
I assume they still want to fill the class dates but need to decided for what base. Since all other showed zero there either is a back-up number or someone now needs to adjust the plan real time.

He's not even a pilot. A friend of mine who's a profiler for a Fed law enforcement agency says he's really an 11 year old girl.

We shall see. The "more trickle than exodus" thread on the Sapa forums proves it's not just me worrying about it.
