Easy solution. Just leave XJT for an undesirable carrier that will hire you (alligient, spirit..etc)...do a few weeks and then quit and go back to SKW and upgrade real quick as you'll have the time ahead of the new hires with no time. Boom. Soft landing pay AND eventually move to a legacy.

Are you able to pick whether you get the CRJ or the 175? Or do they use a OML to determine who gets what?

LMAO exactly. Plus the upgrade at those outfits isn't all too high. One year or less at G4. Leaving a LCC for a regional is downright stupid.

I think the soft landing policy is more effective for someone who doesn't make it through training for whatever reason and decides to come back to their regional.

Maybe it isn't time yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they open it up once the final days are near.

If you really need a West coast base, go ERJ. Otherwise CRJ would provide the greatest career potential at this point with fastest upgrade (by far) and minimal if any reserve time.

Last time I called in sick, they used my vacation time because I didn't have enough user. Do I have the option of not using vacation time on sick call?
Hypothetically- I have vacation scheduled and just enough vacation time to cover it. If I call in sick for a trip right before the vacation with not enough user time to cover the entire sick call, what will happen?

Soft landing is something that company wanted by evidence of how quickly and out of nowhere it was marched through the process. 2.0 is coming too but has more than a student council to deal with.
Ending the cuffed 18 year pay scale opens pilots to a more free market.
I've met one softlander, so they are already out there.

Looks like they stopped way short of the projected erj FO number in sfo this month.
