Skywest Question

[sperfly]

If I was to apply in Jan. to Skywest what are my chances of getting The RJ over the Emb and also what are the chances of getting Denver as a Domicle.

 

[Muppets]

I would worry about getting the job first...the interview there is no joke. After that..I hear Den has gone to several classes in Dec.

If previous 121/135 then a good chance of getting the jet. SLC is the most likely to be first assigned, but you have an equal chance of getting ORD/DEN.

 

[sperfly]

I've been flying a BE20 for the last two years part 91 so I guess the Emb would be in my future if I got the job.

 

[bender]

If you got the EMB you'd be away from DEN for approx. 14 months, although they are allowing a good number of FOs to transition to the jet early.

i'm assuming that's a king air....if you have quite a bit of time in it, you have a very good chance of getting the jet....

 

[embdrvr]

Why do you want the RJ?
Hopefully you're not a SJS sufferer. But if you are you'll be in good company.
First year pay is the same abysmally low rate. Oh wait a minute. It's going up 23 cents. Whoopty frigging doo.

 

[bender]

If it sets your pretty little mind at rest EmbDrvr, just pretend he has a wife and 5 kids in Denver, but good job being the first to throw out SJS. You win a cookie.

 

[flyboyzz1]

I would take the EMB but I wouldn't want to move to the west coast. So it's the jet that tickles my nuts.

ahhhh but you see.....around 92.4 Np in the EMB, the nut tickling goes to extreme levels...........much better than the jet...imp:

 

[sperfly]

Look, I don't have SJS and presently have a great job because I am the boss not to mention the only pilot in the company. But according to second year pay the CRJ pays more. I am asking these questions because I am curious about my chances if I do decide to change career paths and I don't give a sh@t what I fly provided I am payed to do so. The reason I am interested in Reginal flying is to build my time a little faster, currently I am only doing about 300 hrs a year.

 

[Andy Neill]

Not that it matters what you want, but consider these elements in the EMB vs jet. In the EMB, you will fly more hours (therefore get paid more), get non-training pay sooner (therefore get paid more), and still have access to the higher 2nd yr CRJ pay once you have done a year in the Brasilia.

Thats another good way to look at it, and that is why I am asking these questions thanks for the insight. I've told alot of people that I could fly this King Air for ten more years and be perfectly happy so I definitly don't have SJS.

Andy,
It has been a while. Where have you been? What are you doing now?

 

[Exskydiverdrivr]

Take the E-120 first. You probably won't sit reserve that long. You get a line and actually get paid more. (as mentioned above). After 12 mos. you move to jet and make second year pay.

 

[flyboyzz1]

Does anyone here fly the EMB and live in the Midwest. Would it suck to commute say from ORD?

What is the time to upgrade to captain on the EMB-120

This really depends on domicile. Its 6 months+ to get off reserve in the EMB in SLC, and the RJ guys are getting 100+ hour lines strait out of training. Same for DEN, only it takes 5-6 months just to hold DEN in the EMB while RJ newhires are getting it in class. EMB reserve staffing is absurdly fat right now.

 

[B-J-J Fighter]

What are my chances of getting a 90+ hour pay credit line with 18 days and weekends off right out of training?

 

[rickair7777]

You can probably get 100 hours (and per diem), 15 weekdays days off, after a month or so at the larger bases.

 

[rickair7777]

4-6 months.

 

[flyboyzz1]

No one travels from Chicago to the West for the EMB?

Andy:

Surely you know our block and credit are not one in the same--so that's a little bit of a stretch, though if one were to strictly fly the 101-120 hours block-only pay, then you'd be correct. Me? I operate on nearly a 50% margin in the jet...not bad for a bald guy; it's all about schedule manipulation, and going to the EMB is more likely to give you that opportunity sooner.

4-6 months.

Is this correct and if so why would everyone not go with the emb 120 just to start logging 121 pic that much sooner. Whats the upgrade time for the RJ.

 

[MarineGrunt]

About 2 years. Some don't want to go to the bro because they don't have the flight time, don'twant to be on reserve, etc. If I had the flight time, and there were bro's in ORD, I'd be all over it.

Dont forget about the 2500TT/1000 Crew/500 SKYW time requirements. EMB upgrades have slowed down the last month with the most junior being a 3/13/06 hire. That may have been a fluke but we'll know after the christmas slowdown. Most junior ORD RJ CA is a 5/05 hire.

If you're going to make a move you better do it soon otherwise you'll have missed the boat. PM if you need any more info.

For the paycheck we get tomorrow I blocked 50.4 hrs. I will be paid 74.6

Andy,

I'm full time investing now and it's going well.

My presumption was that the schedule manipulation you speak of would apply to one aircraft type as well as another. If that's not the case, I back off my assertion.....and don't call me Shirley ....

 

[pgcfii2002]

What is the difference between the pay for block versus paid?

50.4 versus 74.6? Where does the difference come from?

 

[viper548]

4.3 was holiday pay. The rest was because of block or better, junior man pay, deadheads, premium pay, etc.
