So yeah, I might steer clear of SKYW as an investment, and word on the street is that ExpressJet might not be a great choice right now for potential applicants. I still believe SkyWest Airlines (not the whole INC) is in good shape right now. For a regional, at least.

34 new hires on the seniority list for 2/24 (8 bro 26 CRJ). Better than the 32 last month but still not the 40 targeted.

Sorry I know it's been asked many times. Anyone have any current info on their Multi time requirements? 100? 50? or 25 like expressjet? I'm a CFII with 510 hours, and just trying to see what type of Multi time I need to plan on getting. Because I would love to work for Skywest. Thanks!

TPs are pretty efficient on short range trips, no?
