Skywest Denver Base

I will be joining the 27 Mar class. Could anyone at SkyWest tell me if Denver is a junior base? What is the chance of a newhire getting it? Also, Will the Brasilias be there for a while or will they be replaced by CRJs?

Thanks.

I know a someone who was in the Oct 2001 class and got Denver. Apparently a line and not reserve. Who knows now with a couple of classes since oct

fredgalaxy,

The junior guy at DEN is near the bottom of the Oct 2001 class. We have had only one class since then. I do not anticipate this class getting any DEN domicile awards.

I don't know how long our Brasilias will be in DEN. They are now going to only 4 cities from there. DEN will be the focus of our expansion this year for CRJs. We are resuming the DEN-MSO route and will adding more in the coming months.

Thanks very much for the info, Andy. Do you have a feel for what domiciles are most likely to host the latest batch of newbies?

My crystal ball says:

FAT 18
PSP 3
MRY 3

The most likely error will be my exclusion of any SLC awards. Looking at the numbers around the system, I couldn't see any new guys being assigned there but I will likely have to take a big hit there.
