And that's the real issue sled_driver71.
How many type rated and experienced ATR drivers does Skywest have? Probably not many I'd say. Borgetti and Co may be casting out the Cadet line (cheaper than F50 F/O's?), but to get this puppy up and running they will need the right people, and I would hazzard to guess, need them in place now.
I know one experienced ATR Check Captain (formerly Mount Cook) now working for REX. Might be worth a look JL. That's of course if they can lure you away from the highly desirable package you're on on at the moment (insert sarcasm here).
Forget cadetships at the moment, the main game will be what the Terms and Conditions will be compared to what the current Skywest turbo-prop drivers are on. Logic says it should be more, quite a bit more! If not, then getting this thing off the ground may take more than scare tactics from management and their "clever" HR people.
Anyone heard anything yet?
