I just received an interview date of April 6th. They are running interviews on three dates in March and several in April. I have several friends that fly for SkyWest; they are saying that SW is set to hire 300-500 pilots in 2006. This is only hearsay, but reliable hearsay. I also know that several fellow instructors at my school were hired last year and most have a class date of April 3rd. They all are going into the EMB-120. Which if you get an interview you will probably get the EMB. You also have a better chance of getting a line sooner on the Emb than the CRJ. One of my good friends has been sitting reserve for 5 months on the RJ and he is hopeing to hold a line in 1-2 more months. Plus, you are guaranteed 80 hrs on the EMB and only 75 on the RJ. Check it out, but one thing that all of my friends agree upon this that your quality of life, the first year will be better on the EMB. Fly your seat lock out and then move to the RJ, you’ll hold a line ASAP. This is actually the reason why people who get the RJ, after being hired, are sitting reserve for so long. You think your sonority can hold a line and then another EMB FO moves over and you just lost your line. Good luck and I hope this helps.
