Yeah! that does sound familiar! She really tryed to help me out, more than any of the other companies did. That really gave a very good impression of the company overall. Id like to be part of it.

I agree, I knew it would probably do the trick as far as getting that interview for the first job, but I know I wouldnt be getting any real attention from bigger companies...

When you interview, you have the opportunity to tell them which certificate you'd like, and why. With the way we're hiring right now, I imagine they'd be more than happy to accomodate you if you had a good reason for wanting one airline over the other. When you get the job offer and class date, they tell you which airline it's for so you'd have the chance to turn the offer down if it wasn't what you wanted.
That is great info! I didnt know about when or how I could bring up to the company's attention about where I want to be based and all that. One question though: Wouldnt it look bad if they offer a class date for a certificate and I turn it down just because that certificate doesnt have a base that I want? Im not sure, I just dont know, is this standard procedure?, I wouldnt want to seem ungrateful to the company by turning down an offer...

If I try to interview for SkyWest (provided they are interviewing) would they have into consideration the fact that I already may have interviewed for ASA? I mean, ASA would be my first option, so if they dont hire me, Id gor the other ones, maybe including SkyWest. Wouldnt they note that ASA already rejected me and hence not take me, since ASA is owned by them? Does Skywest arms reach that far?
Anyways, thanx again for the tremendous help!
