Questions for Skywest pilots

[capt. megadeth]

Hi! I am just wondering what the bases are, how many pilots, what kind of airplanes you have, how are your schedules, how commutable are the schedules, junior FO base, yada yada yada.

I am not asking for myself so no smart remarks please. I know a little about the company but I need DETAILS! Thanks!

If you put this much effort into research about them, I'm sure they'll hire you!

see if i can help....

the junior fo bases are ord, den, cos.. some new hires have been going to slc though...

Currently there is 1881 pilots on the seniority list. Dont know how many are in training and not added to the list. The most junior 21 are CRJ, then followed by class of EM2, and then a class of CRJ. Just looked at the domicile assignments for the most junior people not assigned training still, and they are all SLC. All this info is for the jet only. Dont know much about the bro.

Do a search for this stuff, someone made a good point that most of the new hires may start going to the bro again, because a whole ton of seatlocks are up on the bro guys, so they will be transitioning to the RJ for second year pay (35/hr vs 27/hr)

as far as the lines go, ord had an equal mix of standups, 2 day back to backs, locals, and 4 day trips. No 3 days as of yet (maybe 1 line per month). As for commutability, they have steadily improved since we opened the base. The last couple of months have been fairly commutable.

december fact sheet says 1425 daily departures.
121 CRJ200 56 DAL, 65 UAL
12 CRJ700 all UAL. I think there is more though. Definitly more coming.

hope it helps, pm for more.
