I agree. When I asked them a couple of months ago, they told me it's always good to have extra qualifications but they couldn't tell me if they were going to prioritize those applicants/ require it.

What I can tell you is that I know some pilots in training right now (they were sent home in training last year), who haven't flown in a year.
I do believe it's wise to get proficient and current before training.

Yeah it’s a good idea, at least a few approaches and just fly around, even if for a few hours only.

domino? We’re all breathlessly waiting for your thoughts on this. 🙄
airlines ALWAYS hire right up until the day they furlough. The next calamity is already on the horizon. Only a matter of time.

if you're an employee (trainee sent home from SLC) there is no currency requirement. However. Showing up to a 121 training program out of currency is bad juju. You are under a microscope that day hence forth.
Guessing everyone else is whatever hiring mins are. Without you’ll need chief pilot waiver. I wanna say it was 120 hours/past six months when I got hired. Perhaps someone else knows exactly.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

I was starting to think you didn’t see your shadow and the domino season was behind us. Interesting that you return Easter weekend. Domino has Risen?

He crucified himself. And I honestly think he doesn't seem like a bad guy, just the most pessimistic and negative dude around here.
Nothing bad with speaking your mind, this is a forum obviously, but it gets ridiculous at some point.

Need some advice,

I have a job offer for a 135 position (PIC turbine single engine) that starts in May, I also had a scheduled class date (May 2020) with SKW before the COVID-19 pandemic began. I was wondering what y'all think I should do, should I continue and go start the 135 job or should I wait it out and wait for SKW to give me a call.

What is the airframe? Is there a training contract?
Can you fly the 135 gig and bounce if OO calls?

Not much info to work on. But....
CFI with 172 and Seminole time? Easy- 135
Have glass/2axis coupled AP experience with some amount TT? Hang tight.

It’s one thing to get your seniority number. It’s another to get that number with special tracking.
