Default Re: SkyWest Update

Just finished my PC today; word from sim instructor:
"No classes in near future, last upgrade class for the year (EMB-120) heading to sim next week."
Additionally:
"We still have a 'training contract' with UA; contract was for elven year term, still at least two more years to go. Furloughed UA pilots, who want a job, can go straight to class w/o interview, and the receive 2nd year pay (UALPA makes up the difference in pay)."

No word if the UA pilots have priority over poolies; regardless there needs to be a class to contend for first. Company is admitedly over staffed on the jet; fall flying cuts were deeper than expected.
