Yes, I've done it. I just called CS and asked them. If it doesn't conflict with any rest legalities or your normal schedule, then you got it!

What kind of times are people getting hired with? Would I have a shot with 1600TT and 65 multi?
I've also wondered this, anyone have any recent experience with what they are looking for? Thanks!

There is real talk for this, but the hangup is 'FA head' and the lack of foresight on her part. She doesn't think it's possible to come up with a computer program to figure out how to schedule 1 FA on part of trip, and then adding a second for another part.

The intelligent person would say, "why doesn't SkyWest just pay for the software that is currently available." That isn't what SkyWest is about. They would rather pay someone $13/hr to write a new program that doesn't work and expect us to use it.

If this does happen, it will be a while.

We can do it with our current software. Schedule it so FAs stay with the plane and pilots swap. That can't be too hard.

Not to change the subject but more to keep it under the same heading, Does anyone know if SKW will be conducting interviews at the Camarillo Career fair on 5/3?

In advance, thank you

One of the recruiters I talked to about three weeks ago (while trying to schedule an interview) mentioned this date to me as a way to interview. She just said look it up the info on skywest.com, and that if I could not make that job fair to call and actually schedule an interview. At the time she did not have any information on the job fair just knew it was in SoCal.

That's encouraging news, thank you.

Given all the discussion and confusion about PBS, would anyone be willing to start a new thread to discuss it? For some of us poolies this is an important thing we need to learn, we would love to join an instructional discussion about it.

Plus, it sounds like maybe some of you SKW folks would appreciate some discussion of the best techniques for bidding successfully.

Once you are in class and officially hired, you will get access to the SAPA website and the SAPA forums, there is tons of information on there and guys/gals willing to help out and answer any questions when is comes to PBS. We can start one here too, but I'm saying you will have lots of more help on that site.
