Thanks for the replies, guys, and for consolidating my posts into one thread, Rickair7777. My bad on the multiple threads.
I live in San Diego now, which makes SkyWest attractive since they have a E175 domicile here. I definitely need currency and recency. I am doing a Flight Review with a CFI here at Montgomery Field next week before my first interview. I will stay humble in interviews and beyond. Should I get hired, I plan to work hard and approach everything in "new guy here to learn" mode - keep sea stories to a minimum and not be Iceman.
This board is gouge for all kinds of reasons including discussions about what is currently happening at different airlines. Glad to be a member.
FlewNavy, going from the Hornet back to the Prowler was a bit of shock - losing the HUD and the radar. The Prowler was the last model in the fleet to land on the ship at night with steam gauges and no HUD. Yeesh.
