A family friend who is a 63-year-old woman who hasn't flown in about 30 years recently received a phone call from someone who claimed to be a Skywest recruiter. She doesn't have a current medical, so we are trying to figure out how and why she received this call. Was this a recruiter hired by Skywest to create an applicant pool? It just seems odd considering the current state of the industry. I know some regionals have been hiring recently, but I can't imagine they are that hurting for pilots that they are reaching out to folks like this.
Thoughts?
