That's the rumor, and it's plausible since they've stopped training, are allowing people to transfer out early, and keep terminating destinations. My guess 9-15 months, maybe sooner (like after the holidays).

Another thing to consider is Matrix eval or whatever they call it can be on the same day as the systems final, and the sessions for the less fortunate started at like 5 or 6pm. I remember it being a pain to jumpseat out on any Matrix day.
Get your hands on that Matrix sign up sheet fast, I remember that was the one thing that didn't really go in seniority order.

We asked Tracy and Shane about it during appreciation week in the crew room and they more or less confirmed that they're on a 2 year plan to get rid of them and mentioned it could be accelerated if needed. I'd still call it a rumor but it's a rumor that was confirmed by them.

Maybe you guys already answered this but does Skywest have a commuter clause?

When the 120s are phased out, will the PSP base be phased out also? If not, will it still be considered a new hire base or will that all change? That is if it IS even a newhire base, still.
Thanks

Our "commuter policy" is actually the best policy that we don't have. Basically, just call in honest. If you can't make it, you can't make it. No limit on how often or anything like that. No minimum number of flight or seats or anything either. Now obviously if you're saying you can't make it every week for a month your chief might call and ask what's up. But really, that's the one thing you hardly ever hear any complaints about here.

There is no such thing as a new hire base, only junior bases, which could change month to month. And PSP is still an RJ base, and a maintenance base.
