Ok so you're all backing up my descision.(did I spell that right?) I got an offer from ExpressJet but hadn't heard back from my interview with Skywest and I really wanted SW. So I turned down the offer with XJT. Skywest told me they wanted me to reapply in 6 months and just wondering if I made the right decision (dang there is was again). I like the non - alpa deal (and I don't think they will vote ALPA in at SW here soon) My friends over there are really down on it and they think most skywest pilots are. But you all nailed it. Where to live. I like Chicago. I live currently just on the other side of the lake in Michigan so I've been to Chi town a bunch. Can't wait till the "150 days till reapply" is over.
