Skywest pilots: Chances of getting COS or DEN?

[AGuyThatFlys]

New-hire wondering what the chances are of getting based at either?

Thanks,

COS very good. If not right out of training very quickly after. DEN not as good as ORD or COS.

The last class assigned doms was OCT 25th class, 19 of 20 got SLC. There are currently 3 RJ classes behind this group, and they are still telling us that the stong growth is expected to be ORD, DEN, and COS.

Well as of last week, one of the ground instructors stated that the majority of the class that started last week would be getting SLC. Not quite sure how he came up with that information but that is what was said.

Allow me to throw a wrench in your predictions. Starting in January 2005, a LOT of guys that started on the Bro and were seatlocked for a year are transitioning to the RJ. Taking a quick glance at the standing bid list, I see approx 92 Brasilia pilots that are on the list for transition with seatlocks released between now and May 3, 2005.

Since existing pilots get first dibs on the open jet slots, expect a similar amount of Brasilia hiring in the next few months. Expect lots of openings in SLC and FAT, not so many in DEN. No Brasilias in COS.
