I guess I was just curious to know if my name and other's would still be vaild on a list somewhere in SkyWest's files when they start bringing new people on again. I'd like to at lest know if all of my hopes of sill flying for SkyWest have been valid for the last year. In the meantime I'll keep teaching steep turns and short field landings to my lovely students. Yay!

Kept doing what you're doing. I learned (the hard way) those whom stick around during the downturns are one day rewarded. This is your first 121 broken heart. It will not be your last.

I also think the transition classes went very well. In our transition class we had 0 ground school failures, everyone knew the drill. I can’t say with certainty in the Sims, but everyone in Denver got through with zero check failures, zero extra lessons.

I’m fairly confident that’s why the company is choosing to transition instead of bringing in new hires to the 175. As someone else stated, the CRJ does a better job of weeding out weak pilots.

Just ignore it. You’re on the internet, you’re going to get roasted. Let it roll off your back or you will drown in this career, especially when you get people look and stare at you for being a woman pilot, if you can’t handle negative talk on the internet, how the h*** are you going to handle it in real life. Keep your head up and I wish you the best getting out of the pool.

Yes, this is a clear pattern in the long-run.

I'm assuming you didn't mean to sound so harsh, rude, and mean. You might have phrased it "You have no business working in this industry if, you can't take uncertainty, ..."

If I were advising Panda I would tell her that SkyWest treats people with more respect than any other regional and her best bet is to wait for SkyWest, even if they slip in a few Expressjet pilots. When the pandemic is over, and I think it will mostly be over in just over 2 months, the flying will pickup and the first to see it will be Skywest and the first to get more planes will be Skywest.

If you want to see the opposite, the bottom of the bottom, a company who will lie straight to your face, then we'd like to welcome you to GoJet.

They won't commit to not flushing because they don't know either way yet. It depends on how long things drag out. At some point they would want to start clean and re-interview (possibly with priority for poolies). It's not so much that they want to replace you with furloughed pilots (they could have already done that), it's that after a year or three poolies might not be as current as they were, or worse might have acquired some employment, FAA, or legal blackmarks. From the HR perspective poolies do have a "shelf-life". How long exactly is subjective.

If I had to guess they will stick with poolies for a while, and are not in a big rush to hire furloughs from defunct airlines. Turbine experienced new-hires are especially helpful when movement is fast because they require less training on average. But since they're in no hurry right now they may prefer to hire the folks they want and spend the resources to train and develop them.
