You can go to the PBS page on SkyWest online and click on bid info. It will give you the number of target line holders and show the number of reserve lines. Look at the seniority list and pick employee numbers and run them through the directory to see dates of hire.

What it won't show is guys senior enough to hold a line deliberately bidding reserve on purpose.-- Therefore someone that should be on reserve may be awarded a line or a composite schedule.

Should give you a general idea though.

Anyone know if they will send the new hire classes home over Christmas/New Years?

Looks like a few other employers have decided to do that. I just saw a FB ad for GoJet to do that plus $1,000 for travel "expenses". It is crazy how much this part of the industry has changed recently.

If being home for the holidays during training is a big factor behind one's selection of company...then perhaps said person ought to overhaul their decision-making process....

Compensation, bases, commuter policy, etc etc are so much MORE critical in choosing at which regional to give your soul....

Training is approximately 8 weeks including CTP. It is broken down as follows:
  • One week of CTP class,
  • One week of Indoc training,
  • Three weeks of Ground School,
  • Approximately three weeks of Sim training.

CRJ 700/900 Differences Training follows some time thereafter - could be immediately or in the future. Initial is at SkyWest training facility at the SLC airport. Occupancy was double for CTP, Indoc, and Ground. Single occupancy throughout sim training. However, if you want single occupancy, you can do that for the complete schedule.

Sim training for our class was in SLC except for three of our guys. They ended up going to CVG and ATL. I heard that the class following ours was all CVG and ATL.

Can anyone on the inside share some data, i'm about to interview:

CRJ doh for most junior pilot at FAT, SFO, SEA and LAX
and the reserve times at those bases

ERJ doh for most junior pilot at SFO, SEA, LAX and reserve times at those bases.
Trying to decide which equipment to choose.
Which one will get me more hours on a west coast base my first year?
Much appreciated.
