Follow up question: I have 6000TT 600 Turbine PIC and 1900 Turbine SIC. The Turbine PIC is in a 737. Does anyone think that being it was in a 737 might pose a problem. As in them thinking that I would be hiring in for more PIC then jumping to a major. Which isn't the case.

I was hired with 3800 and change about 1000 multi. Most of the group I interviewed with were in the 1150 to 1300 hour range with over 100 multi, and one military C-130 guy. They made it clear to us back in January, that 1000/100 was the absolute min time they would invite you in for an interview. I was put in the EMB-120 starting in April. Good luck to you!
P.S. Can anyone tell me when do you find out your base in ground school? Thanks in advance!

Since you have less than 1000 turbine PIC, I don't think that would be a problem at all. There are plenty of fighter guys here who would be great Fedex material except that they are also a few hundred hours short of PIC.
Also, the reality is that ANY regional wants really guys who will move on a few years after upgrade...that way they have a bunch of 4-7 year captains instead of a bunch of 12 (or 18) year captain$$$$$.
SKW might hesitate to hire someone who already has 1000+ high-quality turbine PIC because that person might be just looking to get established back in the game so he can get hired by a major immediately.

I've probably fown with 8-10 guys that had over 1000 Turbine PIC when they were hired at SkyWest. Several of them were checkairman as well. Aircraft ranged from Metros, 1900s, Lears, F27s, ATRs, and DC-9.
