SkyWest Classes

With all their growth, whats the upcoming classes look like?

Jan 1st RJ = 25?
Jan 22nd RJ = 55?

What other classes are coming up? Was told a Bro class towards the end of February.

Personal opinion, small class or large class if you could do it all over again.
Thanks in advance.

January 22....70, per BH update; WTF...makes my head spin. I'm sure somebody will soon post the entire update...lots of EMB classes as well. Attrition I think I recall as 28/mo...

It doesn't mater because you end up with 70 people in systems!!

Whichever is first.

I think the jan 1 class may have been a bit smaller than 25.

I saw that e-mail and i was curious about the column that said "RJ" That includes RJ Upgrade, but it also listed FO's on the "RJ" line is that EMB transitions or new-hires? I'm guessing transitions...thats an awful lot though about 20-40 a month?

I thought they needed 70 a month? That doesn't look like a huge amount of pilots being hired. Any opinions on this?

 

[AirSeattle]

the new hires are joined by the transition folks which end up to be classes of 50+

yeah...they are having trouble filling classes. an interviewer told me that they schedule 5 or 6 six a day and 2 or 3 will show up to the interview. hence, they do not have as many in class.
