I can't count up all the bases Skywest has closed over the last ten years, 7? The biggest and most senior base, SLC has shrunk by 30% just over the last two years. Welcome to the regional world.

I doubt its getting that riled up. The only thing that you're doing by replying to it is making it feel like its voice actually matters. If anything, encouraging said complex.

Regarding CRJ growth, thank god. Zero reserves and more lines than pilots in a domicile isn't ideal. Bidding for a minimum credit/day load and getting 90 certainly isn't ideal either.

How many hours does SkyWest provide in training (sim or actual flying) that counts towards the ATP requirement?

I’ve heard (but been unable to verify) I could apply with 1475hrs (all flying) and the company does 25hrs of sims that count towards the 1500hrs for the ATP requirement. Also heard 10hrs mentioned. Can anyone clear this up?

Thank you!

It’s not SkyWest who determines how many hours you can or cannot use from sim. It is part of the ATP requirements. You can use 25 hrs towards your 50 hr multiengine time requirement.

They go by minimum FAR requirements, you need 25 hours in category/class, and can then credit 25 from sim training to get to the 50 required. It's on their website.

At moment I have 1000 multi-engine hrs and meet all the Cross Country/Instrument/night etc for ATP I’m just 50hrs short of the 1500 TT at the moment, which I will hopefully have before applying but just looking at worst case if my current flying suddenly stops (I fly something old and unreliable that doesn’t like winter weather!)


Sorry I’m being dumb but can’t see on the recruitment page anything on Sim time. I have seen in FAR you can count up to 100hrs in the Full Motion Sim so long as it’s 121 related, iv just no idea how much time you spend in the Sim in training which could count towards TT?

I’m hoping this will be a non factor, but thought I’d ask anyway.

Thank you for your replies.

Xjt has closed 6 in less than that time. And three more to come on the Asa side.


The difference is that neither air Wisconsin losing Denver nor Mesa losing cmh, etc were the result after being bought by another regional.

Ok. I will give you that. Compass MSP...

Go back and read all of the ATP airplane aeronautical experience rules, pay particular attention to time in category/class.

Technically you can do 1465 TT using the 10 hours CTP + 25 hours of training....but they'll really be looking over your logbooks if you are at the razors edge. This is assuming you have no other SIM time as you can only apply a max of 50 hours SIM to your TT. Try to get at least 1475 TT minimum, but really just get as much as you can just in case. 1465 TT is doable for some.

Also, ensure you have 75 hours instrument IN AN AIRPLANE. My simulated instrument time was healthy but once I subtracted simulator (IE: Frasca 141) it took a good hit. I still had around 85 hours but it was much less than I initially thought.

Hope that actually answers your question. I was in the same boat a few months ago and remembered seeing the question asked repeatedly and the only responses were "figure it out yourself" and "that question gets asked all the time!"....I kept thinking "If someone would actually give a real answer perhaps people will stop asking!"
