I see many others here describe their experience and many of them have interviewed with multiple regionals and are now deciding where to go. I wasn't sure how to respond to an offer when you have other interviews pending. Thanks in advance!
With the current market demand is not uncommon for a pilot to have other interviews scheduled. You are interviewing for a possible position with said company and you don't have to disclose that you are also looking at other carriers. If offered a "conditional" job accept it as you don't know the other interviews will go. The regionals know that you are looking at other carriers, if asked it's ok to let them know that you are in contact with other possible employers.
As far as the offer, they give ou a conditional offer and can decline employment after the initial offer. Interview and always accept the offer, if something better for you and your situation arrasises then you can always writte a professional letter on why you decided on employment elsewhere. I did this with EXJ from a few years ago and when I updated my airline apps for United and Delta they both sent me an invitation to re-interview.
Interview in all and pick the one that best unit you.
