How difficult is it to get San Diego as a FO on the EMB?

 

[amcnd]

SLC,DEN,COS,FAT,ORD all are ging to newhires. TUS is about 3 months, SBA/PSP/SMF are about 1-2 years. For the RJ

I have no doubt this has been addressed before, so I apologize for being too lazy to search this one out. Does SkyWest plan on keeping the turboprops? Or do they plan on going all jet someday? Also, if one got hired into the rj, and wanted the EMB, how long before you could change? Thanks in advance for any answers/help.

They're keeping them, at least until their leases run out (2013-ish). They go to too many places on their own dime that the RJ cannot go/is not cost-effective for. You are seat locked for one year regardless of what aircraft you are assigned. And for the previous poster, SAN is still pretty senior. Not many people are waiting to get in right now, but nobody's really moving out yet.

for FO or CA or both?

indeed.


anyone?

They can and do remove the seat lock before 12 months...FYI. So it is possible to transition quicker.

See y'all on the 4th!!

Recent EMB 120 guys, what bases did you get assigned? I have heard a lot about FAT and PSP. Anyone get anything other than those two? If so, how high were you in seniority in your ground school class?

I have also heard a hard case flight kit is somewhat difficult in the Bro because of the size of the flight deck. Any comments?

Thanks.

For a flight bag, I got the Lightspeed Aviation $20 super soft sided bag from Marv Golden. They give you the bag free for buying LS headsets, but I'm a baller on a budget and can't afford them.
