Looks like ATL will soon be the 6th largest domicile (out of 15) on the CRJ.

I'm guessing the ERJ upgrade will drop to 2 years with the increase in ORD.

Hope you're telling them to avoid every non-Skywest operated flight then.

Yes, that's what it means to not have a contract/union.

I’m guessing that you are talking about the ERJ upgrade dropping to around 2 years over the course of the next few DVRs. Does not look like it will get there on this one.

... you need to re read your FARs.

I mean really, why have some pesky written document when management can just make rules and policy as they please?

Thumbs up

Quick question guys

Does anyone know if my Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating needs to be "Current" coming over from Australia? Or do I just need to have one?

As they are perpetual, I'm wondering if the SIM check at the end of training covers me for recency? or is there a clause somewhere stating my Australian MECIR must be current at the time of the check to be able to convert it to a US one and make it current?

Would save me a few $$$ if I didn't need to do an IPC (its what we strange folk in the land down under call an Instrument Proficiency Check, is it the same there?) before I come over.

Thanks very much!

Good catch. The new year will make it three years.
The fake news I give.

#fakenews.

I was more curious if you saw something I was missing

Regardless, happy holidays to everyone.

The SkyWest company upgrade policy of 2,500 fixed-wing hours is now under review for revision.
