Skybus e-mail
If anyone has any info or experience trying to get on with Skybus. I just got the Skybus e-mail, thanking me for the resume. What can I be expecting from the rest of the process and the timeline for it. Also, any ideas on the competitive time for getting hired.
Thanks

Why not apply to better airlines that are in need of pilots like Allegiant, SWA (if you have 737 time) and even Virgin America? Skybus gets no respect anywhere... I would apply to Netjets if you need to live in Columbus.

If your a CL601 guy. Why not poke around in corporate or 135 flying? You'll be able to walk into twice skybums skipper pay right off the bat flying a 601.
Make sure you do some homework about Scumbus, I realize you don't want to fly regional size jets... you wont there, but you do get to keep the regional size paycheck. Honestly you can make as much CFIing as you can working for that cheapskate butterfly, PLUS you'll be home evernight with the family.

Who gives a rat's ass about a/c size? I'd fly a 172 for the right money. Would you really be proud walking amongst your peers flying for Skybus?

Actually, all that I care about is getting about 300 more PIC turbine. Which I would like to get in a larger aircraft. That way, I have the requirement completed for Southwest. Besides, who has the better shot at UPS or Fedex? The guy with RJ time or the one with Large aircraft time?

So I'd say you have pretty much no shot at either one unless you meet those requirements. Also, they've been hiring 1900 pilots so a/c size is of little importance, except maybe for your ego.

UPS wants transoceanic time, and FedEx you pretty much need to have 3 people you've flown with in the past to get you an interview, then you have the pleasure of interviewing for an interview.
