skywest salary REALLY!

[VFR on Top]

Ground school for each of the aircraft is at Salt Lake City. CRJ also does FTD and sim in SLC. Brasilia FTD is in Fresno and the sim is in Long Beach. The aircraft checkrides are basically anywhere in the system where SkyWest can match up a checkairman and an overnight aircraft.

On the drive back to So. Cal. from SLC for Christmas, I flipped on my scanner while passing through St George and heard a SkyWest flight doing repeated takeoffs and landings under the callsign "SkyWest Training 101" or something like that. Was that a checkride in progress?

On United employees, spouses, dependants, and parents fly for around $15-20 each way. It depends on mileage. We can jumpseat (in the actual even) on United for free. On Delta employees, spouses, and dependants only fly free domestic (ID100) and ID95s for international. ID100 means they discount 100% of the fare and ID95 means you pay 5% of the fare. Parents fly on Delta ID90. We can also jumpseat (in the actual too) on Delta. On Southwest employees, spouse, dependants, and parents fly for $25 each way. Same on Continental. We have various other discounts with other airlines too. Travel bennefits are really great.

You wanted to know some actual numbers for salary:

I was hired Aug. 1999 with a first year pay of $18.02 and 2nd year pay was $22.75 at that time.
From my 2000 W-2: $18,944.53

Transitioned to FO in the RJ Aug. 2001.
From my 2001 W-2: $26,305.57

Upgraded to RJ Captain in Aug. 2002.
From my 2002 W-2: $39,088.78

Hard to believe those last numbers....

2-3year FO this years W2
$39,000
Of course without perdiem, which adds about $8000 more

Rule of thumb I once heard was hourly*1000+10000=annual pay

It was a good year.......

Hey,
Just finished my 3rd year at Skywest, my W-2 shows $36,400, not including per-diem of course. That was for a whole year F/O Crj, no training except 1-P/C and recurrent, and no extra flying.
Oh yeah, I worked at TSA in California and the pilot group was the tightest, most unified bunch of guys I have ever worked with! Go with whom ever hires you first, thats the best one!
enjoy
