Skywest/Chautauqua for UAL furloughees

[Rogue5]

A bunch of guys (about 30) were just awarded EMB upgrade at SKYW in less than 2 years: would have be 20 months for me from DOH if I had taken it. I'd expect that timeframe to remain average and perhaps go more juinior with all the new aircraft arrivals. I'm looking forward to CRJ upgrade coming in the next few months at around the 2.5 year mark.

Email me at [email protected]. I am a furloughed UAL pilot flying the 170 at CHQ. I do not wish to post my comments here, but would be happy to tell you my thoughts.

Good day,


I am still at United, but have 2 friends that were furloughed and went to Sky West. 1 is still there, and the other moved on to a corporate gig. I have heard overall it is not a bad company to work for. They pay is quite low the first year, but it rises significantly from what I have heard. Good treatment for a regional.
I do not kow anything about the other carrier as a company.

Take care,

Forget working for $34.00 per hour.

I heard NCA is interviewing for 747 F/O (And you don't need a type!) SFO,ANC,NYC base. www.hawaiiaviation.com

I think their starting contract is 7k+ a month.

Skywest is nonunion! Nobody is on your side overthere????

Yeah you're right. Probably better to stay home collecting unemployment or work at Wal-Mart. What a tool.

yeah and when us airways possibly tanks they can again furlough out of order if they so desire. several friends were higher up and lost their job after 9-11.. furloughed out of order
