It should keep reserve time fast on the E120.. As they are running CRJ transition classes of 30 a month..

listing them as a domestic partner, yes, but that's why they have enrolled friends and travel companions you can use if you don't have a spouse listed

We only get parents and spouse/kids.

But according to the Delta heads, what Endeavor has for travel benefits is coming downline to the rest of the DCI carriers. Heck, we are wholly owned now and it doesn't mean squat.

MSP is a tough commute from almost anywhere I hear, but I have no first hand experience.

Welcome aboard!
Thanks DeltaMike for the gouge. Any more info I going to SFO as a newhire? How about commuting from MSP to the West Coast?

Also anybody know of a good crash pad in FAT if that is where I end up..

thanks for the help. Looking forward to starting with Skywest and flying something with more than one engine. Any lessons learned for us new hire types would be appreciated..

A buddy of mine commuted MSP-LAX for a year until he could get the jet, and never missed a commute. He said he was up front sometimes but still made it.

Focus on getting through training but at some point get on the SAPA forums when you can and find the reserve survival guide. Learn the reserve policies and ask people when you have questions.

The new hire class starting IOE right now had more people go to SFO than any other base. Your chances of getting it right out of training or quickly after on the Brasilia are extremely good. Chances of getting it as an RJ new hire are slim.

who is "we"? This is a skywest thread but i'm assuming you're talking about another regional because what you said is not the case for skywest
