you seem to be one of the rare ones that seems to be accepting of me,

I mean no disrespect to any of the others by saying that

I am really looking forward to it
even it if the interview does not go well, I still have never been to SLC
I am only out 40 dollars for the hotel room

Hey y'all,

Saw this Skywest thread and since there appears to be a handful of SKYW folks monitoring, I figured I'd ask this question:

I interviewed last week, and at the end of the day the interviewers said they'd be contacting us by mail either way. It has been about 10 days and I haven't heard anything. Just wondering how long it typically takes to get the word (either way).

I left a voicemail for Camille today as follow-up. Any other suggestions?

that's because when I few as a captain on the ATR at ASA I found that there was no correlation between TT and ability.. Sure experience was an issue, and the low time FO wasn't capable of commanding an aircraft yet, but what I found to be the case was that the innate ability of an individual had more to do with whether he was a good pilot or not, more so than his hours.

I my last job I flew with an FO in the Citation X who had 11,000TT, most of it in flight instruction, and some in King Air, and some in Citation 500's.. now he was an FO in the worlds faster biz jet, and one heck of a monster to handle in x-winds.. He was borderline unsafe. His positional awareness was like a 300 instrument pilot, and his stick and rudder were poor at best..

In the end, you're either a good pilot or your not.. the number of hours only adds to your experience as either a good pilot, or not. :D

I would wait till the first of next week and email cassidy or camille if you had not heard anything yet

I have real good luck with both of them responding to my emails promptly
Camille has even gotten back to my on her blackberr.
But from both of their emails that I have got, they do give the impression that they are busy.

All of my emails that I have got have been short and direct to the point.
Much like we respond to each other in the forums.

My wife was asking if my time was going to be a problem, and at first thought, I thought it was just to get in to the interview, and beyond that it was all about me with in reason.

Then through the life of this thread I started to second guess myself, but slowly I have been going back to the first thought that the time was just to get the interview.
You seem like you me be along the same train of thought

Wait a minute, I thought SLC was know for the LDS, not the Amish :)

reevesofskyking 11-16-2006 09:24 AM

Yeah the Captians name was Randy DeMik

As far as I know Mr Welsh was still doing the king air 737, and maybe some citation all on CBT Now as well as the CRJ stuff, we were the test program to see if there was interest and I think the CRJ is going to offered this spring or next fall to Jr and Srs

If you need more info I can call up to campus and find out for you
