Interview in LA?
 
My interview is next Monday in LA, I haven't seen any other mentions of people interviewing there. I was wondering if anyone who has could share some insight on what it's like.

Homewood Suites right next to the airport. Thinking of cancelling my interview tbh. Largest regional airline and they can't even pay for their applicant's hotel rooms. Pretty sad.

You should definitely cancel.

If you don't like that they don't provide hotels for their interviewers I'd definitely cancel. SkyWest is all about cost savings, it's helped them grow but you probably wouldn't like all the other things they don't provide for being the largest regional.

Do any airlines pay for a hotel for the interview? I know Southwest does not.

He’ll probably no show for his Delta class when he finds they don’t pay for your hotel room during training.

Wait until he finds out that it is dual occupancy during training here.

9E does. Pretty sure that Envoy does. IIRC, Piedmont wanted to fly me in and out same day, for what that's worth.

When I interviewed in 2014, the hotel was paid for.

But yeah, if that's the deciding factor, I'd suggest the poster apply elsewhere...

It isn't a deciding factor but imo it says a lot about the company if they make their own applicants pay for a hotel, especially in today's hiring market where they can't really afford to be so stringy.

Personally to me it says SkyWest doesn't respect their pilots. Especially since they have no union, hotel rooms in training are double occupancy, they don't pay for luggage, they don't pay for the whole uniform. 2019 is a buyer's market, SkyWest is stuck in 2009 when people didn't have unlimited options. Today, you can apply at 10 airlines and get 9 job offers, they need to realize that.

Maybe SkyWest would make changes if they had trouble recruiting.

Not defending SKW's actions but pilots are applying at 10 airines and getting 9 job offers and picking SKW in the end. That's why SKW can offer no bonuses and double occupancy.

Definitely never plan on going to a major then. None of the ones I interviewed with paid for my hotel.
