Thanks!
No, I should be able to hold SFO as long as I want, unless they close the base, shrink it, or Brasilia pilots bid into SFO on the RJ and displace me. However, nearly all remaining Bro pilots are bidding for the E175so that shouldn't be a problem. Some new hires who got SFO/E175 could potentially be displaced, though.

As for the break... You have to put in some personal study time, otherwise you will likely have a rough time in Sims...

I'd be surprised if they displaced people. I think they're smart enough in SGU to not rock the boat too hard. I think they'll suck up the over staffing and let attrition take care of it. Just my prediction.

Though I wouldn't mind if some crj guys came back to the Midwest. MSP and ORD guys are just getting hammered right now.

Sort of meh. Nice photography and they didn't make any promises they can't keep.

SkyWest does not displace pilots, they can but they won’t. If there’s not a vacancy they won’t create one for a more senior pilot, otherwise there wouldn’t have been so many pilots passed over for upgrade because they restricted their standing bids to SLC CA only or something else. In my 9 years there, which included the most stagnant time in SkyWest history (mid 2008 – mid 2010), we were ridiculously short on Bro FOs and absurdly fat on RJ FOs but yet SKW never displaced a single pilot. From 2008-2010 SkyWest could have easily furloughed, displaced and downgraded pilots to save money and be more profitable but they didn’t.

This April will almost for sure see early 2011 hires in upgrade class. Food for thought.

I'm from one of the early 2011 classes, fingers crossed! I don't think I'll get this one, but hopefully something this summer. Keep thinking something crazy will happen to jinx it though... My luck in this profession sucks!

Are you delusional, shortsighted or just narrow-minded? Also for clarification are you calling SkyWest a "bottom feeder?"
