SkyWest New Hires
 
Is SkyWest still hiring? Has anyone interviewed lately or been hired this past month?

I heard that they are not hiring from a friend, but want to confirm.

And if they were hiring, would it only be for BRO since there is a large pool for the CRJ?

Thanks

I have a freind who interviewd last week, thursday I believe. I applied March 15th still have not heard anything back. Should I give them a call or wait it out?

It looks we are still hiring a handful of folks on the EMB.

Get your apps in...and get in before the next wave!

I know several guys (over 2,000 TT, 300 ME) that have had their resume in for a week or two and haven't heard anything. That is why I was wondering.

I guess they will hold on to the resumes and start calling people up when they need to fill some spots.

It always works faster at SKW to have someone contact the recruiter on your behalf...that's probably even more important as hiring slows.

Had a former student hired 2 weeks ago into the CRJ pool.

crazy to think theres a pool now when a year and a half ago they begged us to start class the very next week after the interview. rough times right now, good luck to future interviewees

They like LAMAs, but be sure to study...kind of like prep for a PC. They seem to cut us some slack on the sim, but if you want to be safe there's prep available in SLC and SNA.

There was an interview with 3 guys yesterday all hiring for the pool.

There's too much chlorine... my eyes, the goggles do nothing!

Hmm still no call from Skywest, I had an old CFI of mine who is a capt in the CRJ recommend me. My app online says its under review.... Should I just sit tight or try calling? Its been almost 3 weeks....

ExperimentalAB 04-04-2008 03:22 PM

I'd certainly try calling - but be very courteous if you do reach a human bean...I once got a job at Virgin because they were so sick of me calling LoL ;)

Have your buddy call and enquire. If that doesn't work, try it yourself.

The squeeky-wheel thing works, just don't be TOO annoying.

I have an interview scheduled for April 11 and was curious about how pilots are either placed in the RJ pool or given a class date for the EMB. Is this assigned or can I request one over the other?

Any help is much appreciated.

Aloha

Definately request the Bro, or the earliest class-date (it will be the Bro). Good luck!
