There was a draft proposal from SAPA to hire pilots, reserve only, to fly less than the minimum required monthly credit of 58:36. It's just a proposal and will likely not go beyond the draft stage.

They were working on one that would allow them to pick up crew posted flying but the company just wanted permanent reserves.

2 years on the CRJ. If you take a junior base like ORD or DTW you won't sit on reserve longer than a month if that....all depends on where you're looking.

Just so you guys know they just added the times to their main website so those who don't have access can see how seniority stacks up for certain bases on both jets (FO & Capt.)

Pilot » SkyWest Airlines

Scroll down to the domicile map and you can click seniority tab. Not sure how often they will update it but it's new.

It had better not.

Newbie question-
I'm confused on the "most junior" FO and CA dates. I'm guessing those are hire dates. But how does that tell me how long that person was on reserve?

Thanks!

It won't. To figure that out, you need to pull up the monthly bid info and look at the guaranteed and target line holders in a particular base. Then look at the seniority list, and finally the employee directory for date of hire.

So if there are 50 guaranteed line holders in a base, look at the seniority list for #50. Then find that person in the directory and you'll have their DOH.

Sure, this won't be exactly perfect since some guys senior to that guy might bid reserve, but it'll be close enough...

Is the reserve time about the same on the ERJ side if you take ORD?
