skywest LAX

[cheyenne2006]

Does anyone know how the flying is out of Lax is for skywest is it all reserve or hard lines. Would a new hire expect to get the emb or jet really looking to move on and looking for a regional that has a base around the LA basin thank you

NH Jet will most likely get MKE, ORD maybe DEN or SLC. NH Bro can hold SBP, MRY maybe SBA. You may see LAX Bro pretty quickly (within a year) but I think its at least 2 years for LAX RJ. No hard lines in LAX just reserve & expect to be used a lot out of LAX if you are a RJ F/O. One other thing, you still need 1000/100 or 800/100 if you have 121 time.

You could also try COEX and fly the ERJs for Delta Connector out of LAX... I hear it is not too senior and you get a great variety of flying - a lot of Mexico (Cabo, La Paz, Mazatlan and others), PHX, Denver, Salt Lake and cities in the NW - Seattle, Portland, Vancouver. Not too shabby. Plus, you get to fly nice ERJ XRs - good performance.

That might change after this perm bid closes next week.

Well not a huge amount of upgrades nor LAX vacancies.

Probably RJ... I suppose you could request EMB, but I don't know if they honor those requests or not.

Fresno can be held pretty quickly on the RJ. There are lots of people that live in the LA area that commute up. PSP and SBA are also jet bases but they take a bit longer the FAT.

 

[cheyenne2006]

wich base would a nh get and where is the most junior base for the jet

 

[viper548]

You could probably get MKE, ORD, COS, DEN, FAT or maybe SLC right out of training or shortly thereafter. MKE and ORD are the most junior right now.

I started early Sept. got MKE (half the class got MKE half ORD) and with the next bid this month I'm hoping/should get awarded something different. <fingers crossed>

I would have to disagree with DEN right out training, not right now at least unless something drastically changes, its my 8th month and finally getting DEN and then problem here is that everyone transferring is senior so reserve for the forseeable future. Should have stayed in COS
