Our ground instructors told us that we'd be able to follow the FO/CA on a walkaround if we're in uniform and I plan on doing that. Would it be considered odd for me to travel in uniform if I haven't even completed training yet? If not, what's the best way of communicating to the crew/gate agent (other than plain language that I just want to jumpseat for training purposes)

I'd definitely like to get some experience prior to maneuvers, especially since I have a 2 week gap till then! Thanks!

Thank you for your time, can you please give us information on your two week gap? Why so much time off? Isn’t training back to back? Thank you

In uniform. You’ll soon wear business casual once per year: CQ.
With United you can list for the jump. With delta go to the gate. American & Alaska idk.
Be there 50 min early so you can grab a crew member and bring you down. If listed.
Ask questions. We like to help.
Feel free to note how things can differ on the line vs schoolhouse. But pls don’t correct us. We know.

DO work on your callouts RIGHT NOW.
Good luck.

Has anyone here done the cadet program? I was accepted and have a virtual orientation coming up this week. I've searched here, the forums, and the Skywest different sites regarding the program and while they may out the process there's nothing available about preparation once accepted.

I may be over thinking this and it really is just an orientation with no hidden "What's our CEOs favorite color?!" moments. Just curious if anyone else has been in the program recently?

Anybody know if SKW will still open a ATL base in 22?
