The GS director was doing Q/A's on the 2nd day. When we were talking, he said that the day before they had a meeting talking about hiring trends. He said they revised their needs. They need more than they were planning for when they started hiring. When asked a # he wouldn't say, nut we guessed 50, he pointed up, we guessed 55, he pointed up, 60 he gave a knodd. Basically he was not allowed to say a # out loud, but that's what he inferred.

Would SkyWest make you do the 50 questions ATP written test if you have your ATP written already expired?. Also I don't have much of recency time on a multi engine, the price to rent a twin is around $300hr+tax with an instructor for the first 15hrs just to rent it by myself. I have recency time on a single engine instrument current. Any suggestion from skywest folks? I've been furloughed 1year and I was consirering applying there. sorry if my post is out of this topic.

Thank You Newty, and yes I have CRJ time, but still unsure about expired ATP written. I guess I have to take it again. Is all new hires are going to the EMB120 or CRJ? Im not chasing a regional for being home based, everythig can be changed, but how junior IAH base is? are they planning to put more CRJ7/200? that would be perfect fit for me. Thanks in advance.

Think there is one more bro class and the rest in the crj. With the rumors of downsizing ord and iah getting 300+ crews, and current bid awards the most junior bases are iah/msp/ord. Obviously things could change. As for the written, over prepare like you will have to take it regardless, if you don't before retaking it then so be it. Apply and try to get on before the possible summer of 60+ per class.

CRJ7Driver, I was not multi current and had barely flown in the past year, but my previous CR7 time helped me. I wouldn't worry to much, just apply and see what happens. How much CRJ time do you have?

Heard the same thing. 70 is the goal but in reality they are getting 50-60 but this is what happens when you wait until the last possible minute to hire.
