My wife and I will be moving to whatever base I'm assigned to as long as it's not in California, but have heard those are pretty much senior locations anyway.

I would find a air b n b the first month, and wait for the first DVR to be awarded after you get the base out of training. Unless you really like that one…

Is there any advantage to a really early cadet hire date?

So I can get 401k contribution matching right away, and hopefully avoid getting sim times in the middle of the night during training.

Has anyone heard back from SkyWest after applying for the recently renewed Pilot Pathway program? I have a friend that completed his application in early June, received an automated email acknowledgement, but has not heard a word since. I know the recruiters and HR team are probably swamped right now, but after 4 weeks one would hope for some kind of reply.

edit- I got in and updated my hours. Not sure what happened before. Nice to know I still have my employee number and stuff though.
