He will probably be hired well before a great majority of captains at SkyWest as well if he keeps up this level of interest. There are so many CAs here who had applied a leap year ago and update every three months, they do not attend job fairs and do not volunteer. I think the captain that wins the Darwin Award is the guy who complained nonstop over a four day trip why United isn't calling...upon probing a little further, he hasn't even applied!!

No wonder that they're taking young, motivated FOs over lazy dinosaur captains.
