Candlewood no longer does their own shuttle to the airport. It is contracted out, which means they bracket 30 minutes to actually show up.

Not recommend.

Comfort does have their own van.

So you interview, get hired, and placed in the pool. You continue with your life by continuing to work at your current regional or CFI etc and if it does not pan out in the pool, nothing lost.

It is a good idea if you are at a questionable regional (mesa, XJet) so swim in another pool so if your airline were to furlough you are already in a pool when the swarm of unemployed pilots hit the market.

Red Baron in Santa Barbara also has a Frasca 142 sim, and there is at least one SKW pilot who works there.

I used both Bill J. at SunRise Aviation in Orange County, and Red Baron.
