Sorry to dig this up after it had been buried for a while, I just wanted to defend myself for a second, being as "what I said totally wrong". SKYW DOES incorporate previous employment with the company into their pilot classes. There were two guys in mine, one was a CSA/station manager and the other was a ramper, both had SSN last 4's beneath me, but were placed at the top of the class. The same goes for those coming over from ASA, FWIW. I didn't realize this wasn't the common practice universally. So what I said wasn't wrong, it's just not the way things are done across the board. I guess that's what I get for posting on the Major side.
