The quickest way to an interview is to have your resume walked in. If you or anyone in your unit knows a pilot at SkyWest get a hold of him or her and ask them if they'd be willing to walk yours in. Every pilot I've recommended received the interview email within 24 hours of being recommended.

If you don’t have a rec or can’t find one then check out the recruitment calendar on SkyWest’s website and try to make a fair. Otherwise the wait time through AirlineApps is random, but being military I suspend it will be on the shorter side.

Best of luck, I've been with SkyWest for 7 years and IMO it's the best contract carrier out there.

Note: Complete the ATP written as soon as you can. SkyWest is strict on their requirements unlike others.
