Yeah, thanks. I see that, but then I run into a couple guys who say their times were double that or more. And no flying, less than 20hrs/month in PDX. I could still switch to the CRJ, last min, and be away from everyone, family. Decisions....

That's what I'm trying to figure out, except I live in Fresno, which I know is a base but feel like it would almost be too good to be true to get that as a newbie. Someone did tell me on here a month or so ago that it may be easier to move in the CRJ? I know it changes daily but does anyone think that's true or has it changed?

Hi guys,
I am new to SKW and am looking for some tips. I'm new to the airline world and don't really know a whole lot as I'm the first pilot in my family. I'm assigned to the ERJ and from what I've heard is ORH is the junior base for the ERJ. Is it possible to live in DEN while based in ORH??
Also, any tips for a new guy to the airline world is greatly appreciated!!

Focus on getting through training and you will have lots of resources to get you through your first year.

PDX has E175 openings this month. People will be transferring back from ORD. It is a cycle. Go to ORD for 6 months, live in crashpad, transfer home and get paid while you wait for a line. Meanwhile,
fly observation flights, sit in on SIM training, and pick up as many trips as you can.
3 years from now, there will be (more than likely) a different junior base than ORD. You will upgrade to captain, live in a crashpad, transfer home after a few months and get paid while you wait for a line.

Hey, welcome! Yes it is possible to live in DEN and be based in ORD. You will be a commuter, and making it to ORD will be your responsibility. There are lots of people who commute between DEN and ORD so plan accordingly. Don't plan to take the last flight to ORD for example. If you see a storm approaching DEN or ORD, you might want to commute a whole day early. You will probably want to get a crashpad in Chicago so you have a place to stay while on reserve or between trips (or for those days that you come early.)

Pretty much one or two guys from every class in the last year have gone to FAT out of IOE. You can also request to do IOE out FAT even if you were "assigned" DTW or somewhere out of training. So By the time you are done with everything, up to 4.5-5 months depending if you have a long wait for Sims or IOE, you can definitely hold FAT....................Cause it sucks ; )
Haha, yes I agree it sucks. We are moving in two years and I can't wait! That's good info to know though, thanks! Sounds like I should go CRJ and hope for that!
