If you and others are actively organizing, then I apologize. I haven't heard of any kind of organizing campaign and in fact, I asked two Skywest pilots about it on Friday. I asked one of my friends there a few weeks ago and all of them have said there is nothing that they have heard.
Perhaps we do know each other then. Small rumblings of organizing again but can't comment otherwise at the moment as I'm not sure. I ran out of steam for a bit myself but getting fired up again with recent shenanigans. Time will tell.

did this and only got 10 likes on there, so I agree that selfies are stupid

I'd love to see something get started. I voted yes last time, I voted for MM even though I had no idea it would be this bad and I would vote yes again.

Hello guys,
Just received an offer for the CRJ or 175.
I understand only 2 bases (ORD and SFO) are open for now correct?
How long would it take for a new hire to hold a line on the 175?
I assume there is not too much variety in trips yet for the 175. What do the lines look like?
As far as training where are they doing the sim for the 175? Any delays?
Thanks!

I think DEN is opening soon?

But you're going about this wrong way..sounds like you're trying to talk yourself into taking the 175, to get some engine-under-wing-time. Instead tell us what your lifestyle issues are, and where you want to live and we can estimate which airplane might work better for you.

As a newhire on the 175, you might a hold a line right away but soon you'll find yourself on PERMANMENT reserve as more senior guys transfer over...

There's PDX and SEA 175 too opening this summer but I bet that goes pretty senior. For more variety and lots more bases, I'd go with the CRJ as I tell all new hires. Unless you actually live in ORD or SFO and don't plan on leaving.

It's already happening. I ran an analysis to see how many Bro guys went to the RJ and how many to the 175. Nearly everyone went to the 175 in West Coast bases.

A new-hire taking the 175 now, unless they are going to ORD, will be stuck at the bottom of their base list for a very long time.

As for 175 bases...

ORD
SFO
PDX -- opening very soon (newhires can forget it, it appears to now be our most senior base depending on how you run the numbers)
SEA -- opening very soon (same comment as PDX)

DEN -- there's been talk of the 175 going there, but no announcements as of yet.
