Terantious has no idea what he's talking about.
Everyone at OO has soft time, whether that be vacation, user, standups, cancels, etc. We also have 6 bonus checks a year. 100 hours of credit earns 10 hours of user/vacationed per month.
I still plan on leaving, but I don't know many that make just the minimum at SkyWest. These guys/gals will drop/post most of their trips because they have a sucessfull side business, or a significant other that brings home more than minimum wage.

Several instruct on the side because they don't work. Others are able to pick up a local or standup. Plus they're FOs. Nobody is on reserve that have been here over a year. Many of us in the past spent 2+ years on reserve.
There's always a random counterpoint. Thanks for finding the one thing that has no relevance to the overall grand scheme of things at SkyWest. Over 50+ 175s will be coming on board in 18 months. They'll be off a reserve soon enough.
Also, before you spout off more brain busters, the most senior reserves on the 175 ORD have 600 pilots underneath them already. Learn some basic math and maybe try Horizon, maybe then you can change your avatar to a 175.

There's 80 plus FO's who have sat on reserve a year with less than a few hundred hours in the 175 that's not some random counterpoint. What basic math is there to have they couldn't even upgrade in the next year even if they had the seniority to hold it chief. That last line I'm not sure where you're trying to go with but seems to be some type of insult which I'm not sure where the hostility comes from I'm just putting some facts out there. PS I was at Horizon and flew the Q but came here and flew the CRJ and on the 175....
Things will be moving fast from what I see. The most likely thing to hold up these upgrades seems like it might just be lack of newhire FOs and not lack of captain slots.

Does Skywest have minimum times to bid captain? The bottom capt on recent bid was about #2375. Looking at the next 1000 FOs about 325 are on the 175. If very few of them can upgrade in the near future due to lack of hours or flying, and if they continue to upgrade about 50 a month then that would bring the upgrade time down to about a year and a half for the CRJ people. If many of those don't upgrade then it might be a year?

Hypothetically if it did, holy crap would those people have a bad QOL. As soon as those (325) hit 1000, perpetual reserve.
Also your math is way off lol. You have no idea the experience of those 325. Some might be a lot closer than you think

Also, the upgrade pace is slowing. Only one CRJ upgrade class for June, and the DVR shows absolutely zero vacancies for all bases except Detroit in all seats on both airframes. The growth party may be ending....

I doubt the sky is falling just quite yet. I suspect she'll be updating the DVR after the DTW bid closes.

I suspect that we will see an updated DVR by end of May.
Upgrade classes probably slow down as we buckle down for the busy summer season. I would expect them to come up again for Sep.

My interpretation of TGs email is that there will be 3 special awards for DTW - in May, June and July.
