The open house is a chance to meet some of the interviewing team in person. They will give you a brief overview of the company, collect your resumes, ensure that you meet their minimums and then give you the HR portion of the interview. You can expect an interview date soon after.
At least thats what happen when I went...Good luck.

Yes, that is the current practice. However, initial CA qualification on an airplane you have never flown would make for a pretty busy training event...if that's what you want to do, just ask to get hired into the EMB, fly as FO for a month or two, then upgrade.

As a side note, it is not that I am not willing to put the work forth to get the job that I want cause Lord knows if I have come this far I can keep trucking to the light at the end of the tunnel. Plus all I want is to fly, I cannot tell you how anxious I am to just talk on the radios and push some buttons, but I just wanted to know if the extra work is worth the effort.

FAT, SLC, DEN I think. But there is so much movement you could probably get in anywhere within a month or two. EMB upgrade is running a few months, and I heard they have actually put some EMB new-hires into CA training immediately.

Correct me if I am wrong but 80+40=120 and where does Comair fall into this equation. I hope Comair isn't squeezed out of existence because, this will be bad for the entire industry. Let the race to bottem continue. I like Skywest but they seem to be leaning toward the Mesa's and chatakeaway's of the industry. The entire industry needs a nationwide pilot strike to show our arogant managers we mean business.

Hmmm. I looked it up, there are some VERY junior EMB CA's on the list, maybe they are management pilots?
The junior-most EMB CA who clearly was awarded CA in normal sequence was hired in March.
