Yes, I'm sure. Actually was having pretty good luck with them until I was temporarily grounded. I signed up again today after getting my medical reinstated and it looks like a graffiti board of Skywest postings. Some with a half dozen in a row. Only difference is each posting is at a different location.

I've noticed the same with other carriers. Obviously we don't hire for any specific location. Class is sorted by last 4 numbers of social, 0000 most senior 9999 most junior. After awards for current pilots are sorted the remaining oopenings are awarded by class seniority. That being said crj is mostly msp, ord and IAh in increasing seniority. ORD is junior on erj but hasn't had any real openings recently (only openings are people leaving), whilst sfo did get some junior ppl this was when the base just opened and ppl more senior were unsure on what the pairings would be like. Mostly bro PPl heading to west coast 175 now

They were running ads for furloughing airlines in 2008-09.

Any idea how long training will take these days from the first day of ground school in SLC until the start of IOE?

I was reading that there have been some delays for the sims but I was wondering if this is pretty consistent for everyone or just some people.

Thanks!

Not sure about the ground school timeline but I can tell you from the interview to CPC to start ground school takes 2 months. That was my timeline, hopefully it's not that long for others. I'm wishing I didn't quit my other job while waiting so long.

I was hoping to see one of you super Jr guys post your RSV Schedule? Can anyone explain the Reserve rules? Days off, etc. I thought I heard something about a rotating RSV schedule?
Also, how long is it (roughly) to hold DEN?

I doubt it. Don't get me wrong, I would like to. I'm just curious.

Never intentionally gap employment in aviation if you're in a seniority system. I had a buddy who got hired out of a regional by a major, and he gapped employment by two weeks to take a vacation.

His new-hire class date was *supposed* to be 17 Sep 2001. His regional had a policy where you could rescind a resignation up until the last day, but he was already out of that window. Fortunately it turned out the military was in need of his services again shortly thereafter but he never got another class date with that major.

If you actually start class, you can still get furloughed but at least you have a seniority number at most airlines.
