Skywest Training

I just heard that the next class is scheduled for the first Thursday in January. In addition possible 50 more airplanes. Just what I heard from training department.

Just got back from Sim, and other than scaring the hell out of myself doing the ASE approach (Major props to the AWAC dudes that go there every day!!), there was absolutely no talk of new classes. In fact the instructors were stoked to finally have some time to go skiing.

I'm sure that's based on Delta existing in January

Were you doing the ASE approach for the hell of it, or are they qualifying crews on it?

Do you have a name, or even a position for your mythical training department source?

 

[Mookie]

Don't know why we were doing the ASE approach, that would have probably been a good question. Maybe just for fun to see if the 700 could get in and out.

For even more fun I recommend the single engine departure out of RNO.

That's good news for the new hires. I hope it's true.

Yeah! That's on my list of top 5 things never to do! I was happy when it was an RJ route, but now SFO-RNO-SFO is a common flight for us westcoast EMB guys. Glad there's a red light on top that hill!

Fly Safe.

What is that? The title of your next book? Overuse of the shift key can be cured, the first step is recognizing you have a problem.

Seriously, don't listen to these turds. Check airmen start rumors like this one just to see how fast it circulates, I know it's tough, but just be patient and wait for the official word. Training will start up again. I wouldn't be surprised if it starts in Jan. Just don't put too much trust in the anonymous sources of this (or any other) board.

Holy crap Bluto, I thought I was the only one up this late!

No confirmation yet

I just emailed my HR contact. She says that they still don't have an official start date, pending finalization of next year's flying. We continue to wait... (I'm also in the first class)
