Skywest pilots based in FAT

[capt. megadeth]

If you go there for captain upgrade, will you fly a lot or sit around on reserve? Are there any decent places to live in Fresno or towns around? How are the typical schedules?
Thanks.

Clovis is where its at.

Fresno is nice, don't judge it by the area around the airport. Areas norh of Herndon near 41 are where the stores and places to eat are... go east and stay north of Herndon and you are okay... South, it really depends.

Fig Garden is upscale and good too.

we are short everywhere so everybody flies... who knows what the future holds though, not sure what it's like on the Bro side.

How about CRJ in ORD? Should someone expect to sit rev for a while? If so How many credit hours per month can you expect? If you’re a junior fo line holder in ord what kind of credit time lines can you expect?

We have a minimum of 75 hours. With PBS it's hard to say how many hours you'll get. I've been getting about 80/mo.

Are you on rev, how long have you been on line in ord?

 

[viper548]

I'm based in COS. All the bases will be PBS soon. At the rate we're going right now I'd guess reserve in ORD would be 2-3 months. Where do you live?

Currently live in STL, if i get ORD im considering moving there. That is if i could hold a line and make enough to split a 2bd apt with 1-3 others.

 

[viper548]

most of your class will be going to ORD. Shouldn't be hard to find a crashpad. There's a lot of movement out of ORD so it won't be too long until you hold a line

 

[Marsupial]

which bases are not yet pbs at this time?

DEN was the last non-PBS oasis. It's going live with PBS in August.
