OH, maybe if Facebiter and others want to keep talking about this we can get the thread closed for straying off topic so much. Give it up. I have.

I'm just messing with you because of you opinion of SkyWest pilots, especially those based in SLC. Next time your in SLC and I'm there ill join you for a burrito, try Cafe Rio's pork burrito or salad. its amazing.

This would be a bad thing, i'm just saying it is a definite possibility

Looks like they serve more locations (67) than airports currently served by Compass (50). Ouch, dude.

That's a much better "burn" than a SKW route map I think.

Skywest knows their contracts with UAL and DAL will be renewed and the 200s will swapped out for 76 seats. The swap out ratio remains an unknown question only time will tell. My money is on raises at the top end for larger RJ's at regionals, why? Because pilots are financial retards.

They have only purchased 40. The rest are just the rights to delivery slots should they get contracts that require the planes.... if you think that all 200 E175 + 100 MRJ show up, not including the options, than you are delusional. I don't really care, I don't plan on sticking around long enough for it to matter anyways.

Congrats and welcome! It took me around 2 months from day 1 of ground to IOE. Some had a break between sim & IOE, some didn't. Study your EP & Ls, study...and relax. Also, most preferred an upgrade guy as a sim partner, although feelings may differ.
Enjoy!
