Everyone always says that like we want to be at the regionals and it's simple to get a job at legacies. Of course a regional is a regional. Is it wrong for people to take pride in their job and work to improve their company while they wait to get hired by mainline? If every other regional pilot in the US hates their job and company then I'm definitely proud to work where I work because we don't share that opinion.
I have apps in with all of the majors but I'm not going to be a bitter angry regional pilot while I wait for a call.

2. Most of the trips are commutable on one end. I have been getting trips that are commutable on the back end but I have been able to post my first turn to make it commutable on the front as well.
3. It's hit or miss. The trip I just finished was in and out of DEN the first 2 days and the last 2 were in and out of SFO. Some trips leave DEN on huge first day and don't touch DEN until the last day and some are in and out of DEN the whole trip. The trips are on united on DEN so you could be in any of the united hubs during your trip.

I'm in the SKW pool for an August class date, I live in Colorado Springs, and have been told to expect the CRJ.
Wondering if any SKW pilots have any thoughts on being the junior FO at Denver versus Colorado Springs. Advantages / Disadvantages of each?
Also, does anyone know if the training department folks will send out training material that I can study now to get better prepared for class? I know they expect solid performance, have been told that some airlines will let poolies have study material.
Thanks in advance

The soonest I can get my butt out of the AF. My retirement date is 1 Sep, and I had to burn a bunch of leave for my daughter's wedding and some major-life-event stuff. If I could make the 28 April class I absolutely would, but I just can't. I'm grateful they will keep me in the pool until August.
