Skywest Fresno base

[CRJ2008]

Hi all,

I will be finishing ground school this early October. I am already assigned Fresno as my base. I live in San Francisco and I am planning to commute from SFO to Fresno. I have several questions regarding jump sitting from San Francisco, worst trips, best trips, or anything in general to watch-out for crash-pads etc. I appreciate any info anyone want to share

Thank you

I think they call it jump seating now.

you re right, jump sitting from SFO to Fresno

Buy yourself a Toyota Prius.

Like Dave said... just drive. Find a crashpad and put a bid in for SFO. Good luck.

Also, don't worry about worst trips/best trips... you'll be on reserve. Just enjoy the ride.

Can someone tell me what the reserve schedules look like for the love of god? I have been asking and noone tells me. Is it pretty much 5 on 2 off or what? I am wondering about PSP and FAT.

For the most part, they are 5 and 2. I think you get at least a 4 and 3 each month though. They do not build any reserve lines with holidays off either.

Well that's nice isn't it?

Thanks for the info

I'm not sure how long you'll be on reserve. I've flown with a couple of FOs that started in June and are bidding 24 out of 50something. People are not staying in Fresno and aren't staying on the Brasilia.

Did anybody get SLC from your class? How senior is it on both airplanes. Also, how long untill a line is held in SLC?

 

[myflyby]

no, I have no idea what you idea what you are talking about. Maybe I'm starting to like this aviation crap.
