and according to alot of people skywest is better than pinnacle. i just think we are more desperate for pilots.

No SKW has been doing positive space for some time now...We're a bit short on pilots too.

True story. Trans States couldn't PS me in for the interview...I lived far away from anywhere they flew. I was interviewing the Monday after Thanksgiving last year, and I figured I would NEVER have gotten to the interview had I taken the space-available. Sooo...I figured I didn't want to not be in the right place at the right time, so I up and packed my apartment into my car, gave my notice, and drove 2500 miles to interview LoL...
About half-way through the drive I looked at all my crap in the car and realized I was NOT going to drive all the way back home haha. But I was fairly confident I'd do just fine (hence the radical move)...and did end up getting the job. The rest is history.

Cape Air will reimburse you for airfare to the interview and give you a nice hotel room. If they can do it why not these others?? The thing is we are being reconditioned as a pilot work force to accept lower expectations. I recently backed out of an interview with one of those low cost bottom feeder airlines because they were not willing to do anything to accommodate travel and expense. (and no, I prefer not to name the company)

This is the problem with the younger pilots........ IN my day we had 2,000 hours, got in our car and drove a day in advance, paid for our own hotel and made sure we were where we needed to be for the interview. No one owes you anything and you're lucky that you even have an interview so Cowboy the F*ck up and show up on time and stop whinning.
Actually, don't. I want you to go to AWAC so I don't have to fly with your premadona ***.
