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.

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.
