If you can't make it to one of the events and you don't get a call within the next week then drop me a line and I'll help you out.
Best of luck!

9. The process itself is easy...jet bases (I'm not familiar with seniority on the Bro, someone else will have to answer)
PSP, SBA, SMF are super senior
COS, TUS, DEN, SLC are generally attainable within a year as a FO
MKE, ORD are very junior, expect one of these out of training
SFO, LAX are reserve only... so only ABOUT 8 pilots total at each
ATL was fairly junior but it's shrinking so hard to know, probably in the same category as COS/DEN and so on.

Back in the day, it could take a year or two. I assume they are just out for the holidays, but the response time can be variable...sometimes same day, sometimes months. If you're 121 you will probably get called more quickly than otherwise. The best thing is to have someone walk your resume in or call/email the recruiter on your behalf...that usually get's immediate results.

Question...
I'm going to be applying to Skywest in the near future, where do you see me being placed. I have no previous 121 experience, just CFI'ing, but I live in Chicago. Will they give me ORD if I make the point that I live in Chicago?

Nope. They will put you where they need you. Although you probably will get to bid on a base if there are vacancies in more than 1 location. Just hope that your last 4 of your SSN start with a low number

Mike is right on, you will be put where they need you! Be prepared for the possibility of the EMB, then I will start seeing you on the ORD-LAX flights. We had a mix of CFI's and others that had turbine experence in our ground school! Its where they need you despite where you live or your backround. (Execpt if your from another 121 carrier!)

ORD is a jet base only, so if you are hired into the EMB (likely since you're a CFI), you will not go there. You can do a year in the EMB and then transfer to the CRJ in ORD, at which time you would have good seniority.
