SkyWest vs Eagle...

[Buzo]

I left eagle in July after 1.5 years to come to SkyWest. I was based in ORD on the CRJ and got ORD CRJ at SkyWest. I left because I have a much better chance at upgrading in ORD. Even if a lot of stuff changed at Eagle I would probably not get the Chicago or even the Jet when and if I upgraded.

Eagle will tell you where you are based during the first hour of class, and I didn't get my base assignment for SkyWest until the end of week 4. Eagle is a good company and if it weren't for the upgrade, I would definately have stayed there. I think in your position I would choose SkyWest and hope for Denver or Salt Lake.

Good Luck

my 2 cents

I had the same choice for a while, but Eagle said no to me at the end. I am glad I am at Skywest. I am in the Emb120, seat lock seems to be cut short for a month or two before the year ends. ORD is a junior base in the crj. At Eagle upgrading takes way too long... Think ahead, not just on a domicile, but once you are there... how long untill you get the precious PIC time to be able to move on?
