I interviewed at Skyway recently. The interview was upstairs in a maintenance hangar. The usual individuals doing the interviews (assistant chief pilot and fleet manager) weren't there as the two of them just up and quit...word on the street is they went to Jet Blue with no notice! (Should tell you something right there). They started off by saying they would probably furlough, and they were just hiring to fill a void for a few months. They are parking all the 1900's by September or October and going to an all DO-328 fleet. I guess attrition is so bad now that all the guys are flying 90 hours a month with 10 days off. Anyhow, biggest waste of my time. I have been to some crappy interviews (Mesa, Great Lakes) and this is the far worst. Why would anyone want to go to an airline that is going to furlough????? IMHO, this is one to avoid for now. Go look at Skywest or Chautauqua.
