SkyWest Question
Hey guys, I had an interview a few weeks ago with SkyWest and from my perspective it went pretty bad. But, about a week later I got an email saying they want me to come out for another interview in 3 months and someone from HR will be in contact with me. I'm wondering what that means, did skywest stop hiring lately or something? Thanks for your input.

SKW has not stopped hiring and as a matter of fact they are currently gearing up for more interviews and should be running some pretty good size new hire EMB classes here VERY soon. Lately there has been a lot of activity in the training department and they just awarded a dozen or more CRJ upgrades/CA transitions (EMB CA to CRJ CA) as well as FO transitions (EMB FO to CRJ FO). Not only has there been a lot of movement from the BRO to the RJ for both CA's and FO's but there has also been several dozen FO's awarded EMB CA. Both transitioning FO''s and upgrading FO's will leave the Bro creating dozens of vacancies on the EMB side, vacancies that will be filled by new hires.

Just in the last 4 weeks SKW has awarded:
20 CRJ CA Upgrades/Transitions
18 EMB CA Upgrades
27 FO Transitions (EMB FO to RJ FO)
Total this created 36 EMB FO vacancies on top of the fact that we are currently understaffed on the Bro. Keep in mind that this is only one month’s worth of awards and many more should be coming.

Previous 121, military, or significant turbine time = CRJ.
CFI = Bro.
135 people could go either way.
If you have a preference, ask them nicely and they may accomodate you.
