I think a lot of SkyWesters are a little envious of the CPP and flow throughs that most other regionals now have. It essentially takes a gaurentee slot away from other candidates.

I have been amazed at how many pilots bet their career on a CPP or a Flow or some other promise. I would view these as back up plans. Do everything you can to make yourself competitive. Interview prep work. Update as often as allowed. Send letters of interest to key personnel (this still works and if/when you get the interview they will have everything you sent on file) on a regular basis. Sling as much spaghetti as possible and if nothing sticks, you still have your back up plan.
