Skywest Mins?
I've heard a "rumor" (I call it a rumor because I've been unable to confirm it through any reliable source) that Skywest has "unofficially" lowered their minimum total time requirement to 850 hours.
I know there are a number of Skywest guys (and gals) here, so can anybody confirm or deny? Has anybody been offered an interview or class date with less than 1,000 hours? I know the web site still says 1,000 is the min for application.

I always thought thaat SKyWest prided themselves with not lowering their mins. they have always kept their mins at 100/1000 with 100 instrument. with all of the hiring going on it wouldn't suprise me.

When I attended the group interview there was a TSA furloughee who didn't have the 1000hrs and they told him thanks, but no thanks regardless of his 121 experience.
But, I have also heard of a bridge program with ATP so maybe that's where it's coming from.

I thought I saw something regarding mins of only 850tt/100me if you had done your training through ATPs.
I believe were having a real hard time filling classes right now. A group E-mail goes out to all of the pilots every several weeks asking for referrals. Additionally, the amount of group interviews and roadshows are at an all time high.
I guess $19.02 an hour to fly a CRJ900 just isn't enough to motivate people.
