Just curious what is the base for a new hire with skywest if flying the CRJ, I think for the EMB it is fresno. What aircraft will new hires get, How long is reserve, could one get SFO as a base out of training. Also I heard there is no sim if you have prior 121 experience and also no atp test if you have a current ATP written.

Any info would be great. I heard its not the same great skywest it use to be and due to now an enormous seniority pilot list with ASA and expressjet, the upgrade would not be for at least least 5 years, any truth to that. also with attrition many pilots are leaving in masses.

Skywest is not part of asa/exspress jet. Two different companies.
 
There is no attrition, your CFI clown buddies are filling you with a bunch of hooey, neither is there one list.
Junior base will be MCO.
You don't wear cowboy boots when flying, I hope.
