Vacancy bids for May were awarded on April 4th. The date they award them seems to change every month. You just have to check the standing bid awards.

PBS says I'm 202 of 208 and 190 targeted line holders. So who knows but doesn't seem too far away!

Yeah hopefully it's not too far off. I start class the 28th of April and thinking about DEN as one of my choices (but wouldn't obviously be until August or so, whenever IOE is done and I can hold it) since it's an easy commute from PHX. Are you a short call or long call reserve?( I assume SkyWest has long call?)

To give perspective on timeline, I have sim directly after ground school (class 3/31) and I should be done with IOE by may 31st or so. Not saying your initial estimate is incorrect, just giving you my timeline in case you need to make plans at home and whatnot (housing, etc etc).

Whats the story with required multi time? The website is saying they only need 50 multi (as per ATP mins.) But I think I've heard that the actual requirement for SKW is 100 multi.

What kind of times are people getting hired with? Would I have a shot with 1600TT and 65 multi?

Oh man, thx for the heads up. I guess things do move a little quicker than I thought. I was just figuring ground school and sims would be 2 months just due to sim availability, but I guess it's running smoother than I thought. That's good to hear.

not a problem. I'm in the bro, not sure how the RJ times are running. I am finishing ground school and starting sim 2 days later. we have some guys in our class going to sim 2 weeks after ground school (availability) so it does vary a little bit and seniority goes a long way.


in either case, the wait is paid so not a big deal

Quick question for the CRJ people, do you just focus on the just the 200 in initial ground school/systems and then have a differences class later on, or do you learn all 3 variants at once? Just curious as to which limitations/memory items I should focus more on right now(I am studying all three however I would like to stress only one right now if that's the case.)

Just the 200 then you come back at a later date for 700/900 differences training

Great, thx Jet. How long after do you come back for that typically?
