It's still seniority based for OBR except for the first day.

I read somewhere that Skywest was considering hiring part time pilots? Does anyone know if that occurred or if any other 121 programs hire part timers?

They are not hiring part time pilots.
The idea was to allow a certain percentage of the senority list bid down below the current full time hourly requirement losing company paid benifets like the FAs do.
It was met with anger from guys who.....want to work less. Amazing I know.

Good info, thanks EFB.
I have Thanksgiving as well as Dec 22nd-Jan 6th off with my current employer but will hit ATP mins late this month, so I'm trying to decide when I should make the switch. I guess I could always request a Jan class date but as you all know, seniority is everything.
I'm hoping for CRJ/PHX off the bat, could do CRJ/DEN where my home is as long as the commute isn't awful. Reading the thread it sounds like MSP/DTW is inevitable for a few months

It would be great for the company because highly paid senior guys would block less and be off benefits.
Mid and junior seniority peeps would take it in the shorts covering the flying dropped by the seniors.

Very hard to make this work in 121. Replace one full timer with two part timers and you now have to pay for recurrent for two instead of one. And labor groups usually take a dim view.

It's good now, and it was good back then but it can change really fast.
