I do wish we still had that information. I'm still pretty junior so I have a lot of old co-workers and students still trying to get their first airline job. They always message me asking when we're going to start hiring, what equipment, when interviews will be scheduled, etc. It would also be really nice to know in advance about transitions or upgrades. Right now I've been debating whether to bid for an RJ transition or wait because I have pretty good seniority on the bro. If I knew they planned on running classes for a few months I would wait. If they said they planned to run just one or two more classes then take a break I would definitely bid it now.
I'm not saying Brad was perfect; we did have our issues with him.

Thanks for the info guys. I am a bit short on TT so I am assuming thats maybe one of the reasons I haven't been offered an interview. I have heard it is fairly easy to be MSP based on the CRJs. If that is true, that is one of the many reasons why Skywest is a great option for me.
Anyways thanks again, I'll just have to keep updating and hopefully I'll hear something soon.

Is the Portland Brasilia operation pretty stable? If I wanted to stay a PDX FO long term is this a safe bet? Still trying to decide if I want to commute to Jr Horizon bases out of PDX or go with Skywest.

SkyWest is where I would go. There are quite a few PDX EMB120 first officers with their names in for transition to the jet. Once classes get going there will be movement. You may get stuck in FAT for a little while, but PDX is definitely doable in the short term. Also, commuting to Medford or possibly Anchorage from anywhere would be painful. Upgrade time at QX is north of 10 years at this time.

Have an interview on the 6th. Any idea when they are looking to start a class and how hard to commute out of SAT?
