SkyWest ?’s
Is there anyone here that is part of the hiring team or have info about them?
I've been waiting a few weeks for a hiring decision from Skywest. I interviewed on Oct 25th for an FO position. I am eligible for an unrestricted ATP and had positive comments from the captain that interviewed me.
He said I should have an answer within a couple weeks from the company. This was echoed shortly later by my recruiter. It's coming up on a month now and no response (good or bad) and I have not been able to get in touch with the recruiter. Has anyone else had issues like this for so long on just getting answer?
I get they are busy and swamped with hiring but this just seems a bit much when I cannot even find anyone to give me an answer.
I have a class start date in March with Endeavor. SkyWest was my first choice but it is looking like Endeavor may be the better option.

I emailed my recruiter for the second time on Monday after not hearing back for a couple weeks, and received an email with an offer and class date within the hour. Not sure why you haven’t been able to get through. Maybe the squeaky well gets the grease. Try reaching out again?

Is Skywest still looking for captains?
It is not hard to understand why Skywest is short off pilots. They told a friend of mine who is a check airman and has been living and flying abroad for quite a few years, but flew with an airline in the US before and still did fly into all big US airports on wide bodies that he can’t apply for the left seat in Skywest due to having built his hours outside the USA. And they told him to apply for the first officers position. He didn’t really need the job and only was interested in Skywest due to the location he could be based at as he wanted to return to the US and just wanted to enjoy himself. The right seat was a bit too much for that for him at a regional though. So he let it pass Which I can understand looking at his experience and situation.
I mean, how can they say they are short of pilots if they turn down people who meet their requirements 10 times? I was amazed.
