I just tried to apply with less than the published mins for multi time. I have the total time but I was short of the multi and the online system would not let me complete the application. It told me to update my profile once I had obtained 100 hours of multi. As far as total time though, they do use the word "preferred" next to the 1000 hours. My guess is that they will talk to you with less than 1000TT but not less than 100 Multi or 100 Inst.

If you are close, it won't hurt to start an online application on their website.

Heard from some during sim two days ago that management was currently (Tuesday) in talks regarding canceling upcoming classes due to the fact we are fat on pilots and no growth opportunities. Also heard that HR is stopping all interviews for the month of March. Not a good time to be on the bottom like I am

I think at SkyWest, it is usually us Pilots that are a bit short-sighted, not management - and while we've been scratching our heads at the staffing for the last several months, they've sworn up and down we still need 600 Pilots for '08...

well I sure hope I heard wrong. From what they were saying they were inches away from some big news but it's all on the back burner. The sim guys were all freaking out that the classes are being cut and hiring is a fraction of what it has been.

Could this be a reference to the SWA regional flying we were rumored to get? Heard is was pretty much a done deal, but just before Christmas it seem to evaporate. Maybe any of the other rumors that are swirling around the SKW crew rooms and flight decks?

yeah it was for sure the southwest rumor.... i know people think it was only a rumor but from the way it sounds from the guys who attend the meetings in St. George that was days away from being a real thing. SWA pulled out at the last second because of fuel prices and the uncertainties the company has regarding future balance sheets. What the other big deals were/are....I have no clue.

Reaffirm this. SKW might be cancelling future classes per the rumor. Not classes that would be starting within a few weeks??? Like perhaps the one that I am starting in a week and a half.

I have heard nothing of your class canceling or any other class for that matter. We may run an upgrade only class for one class but that will not affect your class.
