Skywest Domicile ?

What are the chances of a new hire getting SLC as a base? If none, any ideas of long it would take to be senior enough to bid it?
Thanks

Things are always changing. In the Bro, it might be fast because there is a bunch of guys transitioning to the jet. In the jet, most newhires go to ORD, but I would imagine you could get back to SLC farily quickly. Don't worry, since SLC our largest base, there is always movement (on the FO side). Don't make your decision solely on getting SLC out of newhire class. You'll get it soon enough.

Newhires have been getting SLC before they leave ground school!! (in the jet)

What is a bro? Do you mean a bra?

No, it's Bro as in BROsilia at SkyWest. Don't ask me why. That term predates me by a long time.

I'm sure somewhere they do fly a bra. . . In fact I have some ideas where they might, but its purely speculation. Here at Skywest however, we do indeed fly the Bro.

I don't believe we have a commuter policy, but I don't think anyone has been fired before for missing a commute.
Yes, you will know which airplane you will be getting before groundschool.
