Well now that I won't be flying I can at least go donate blood to buy some groceries. It sucks but I would have rather found out now than after ground school. However, I have spent the last month memorizing limitations and checklists. It is hard to maintain this information when I am doing nothing with it.

I don't blame SkyWest but 4 days before ground school is a little tough to swallow. I didn't fully believe I was going until I got my flight arrangements. You try not to burn bridges with your previous employer by giving them a decent notice but it may bite you at the last minute. Even if I didn't give them any notice, I could have been axed in ground school like Shuttle.

I might be the eternal optimist but I really think we will get another call soon and have us in another class. SkyWest is my first choice and it is tough to just walk away and go find another job after finally getting hired with them. Not to mention, instructing is really the only job interviewing and even some of those are requiring contracts.
