Wow.
It will be interesting to see how low it goes when they start adding ERJ pilots in ORD again for the new Delta aircraft.

Or is ORD still over staffed on ERJ? The list looks like it was gutted.

I'm not seeing that. I see it at 3 years, 9 months.

I see it as about 3.1. I think the person you’re looking at is a cadet and that is not their bidding seniority.

Not sure where the 2 years 10 months is coming from though.

Unless you plan on making a career at SkyWest, I'd stay away. TSA is out of DEN as well...

That's good to know; just checked them out. Looks like another avenue of approach...

You're right, I see that now. Still not quite 2 years 10 month. It could drop to that once the deliveries start picking up mid 2018

With 45 more planes we'll likely see it go under 2.5 very soon.

I think you will see more transitions then you will see upgrades. My guess is it never dips below 3 years.

Never? You can’t be serious?
Deja vu of people saying it won’t happen on the CRJ.
You’re right there will be a time that there will be more transitions than upgrades, especially if they figure out the Delta benefits, but if the current demand for pilots keeps up the upgrade time will drop. Eventually like it is in the CRJ...upgrade as soon as you legally can, bypassing those who are still building time.
