They're probably afraid you have too many hours and won't stick around. We're losing FOs as soon as they hit 500 turbine to a lot of different airlines including Southwest.
|
Word on the street is they had to tighten up the hiring standards, conducting actual interviews. Too many were not successful completing training.
And yes 300hrs later will get you a call, including WN. |

Plus, 121 time is better than 135. And correct me if I'm wrong y'all, but the regionals have to be the best, and easiest, way (for piston guys) to jump into 121 ops.
Regionals are jammed up currently. Look elsewhere to anything with a turbine 2000 hours and unrestricted atp you can go to a career job. |

Double check me, but I think for the ATP any flight between two airports counts as cross country.. . ..
61.159 requires 500 hours of Cross Country flight time to obtain an ATP Looking back at 61.1(b) for the definition of Cross Country flight time, subsection (vi)(B) for the purpose of obtaining an ATP, "That is at least a straight-line distance of more than 50nm from the original point of departure," 61.160(e) allows for the exemption to that rule by adding a limitation on to the applicant's ATP. I'll add in there that you do not even need to land at another airport. So really, it only involves one airport. |

Hi all, I recently applied to SkyWest and got rejected just off the initial online app and I just wanted to get input from y'all. I'm totally baffled as to how when my colleagues with less time have gotten the interview and CJOs within the past two weeks. Here's a summary of my experience:
Large Pt 141 School Check Airman Meets all the reqs for R-ATP 1800 Total Time, including 229XC (so I can't get an ATP and immediately bounce to Spirit) 1 Cert Checkride Fail - CFI SEL Flight No Accidents/Incidents No DUIs/speeding tickets etc Can anyone provide insight as to why?? I want to make sure my app is better for next time...short of me making a mistake on my app. I can't review it at all so I don't know if I did. |
Just keep in mind that accidentally ticking the wrong box on the app will send you back a rejection automatically within 12-24 hours of applying. I would reapply and go over each section very carefully and if something doesn’t make sense or you aren’t sure, get clarification before continuing.

Also be sure to join the Cadet program, that seemed to have made the difference for at least one person I know in a spot like yours.

Hi all, I know it has been sometime since my initial post, but I just wanted to thank everyone who replied. It was tough to take but as some of you pointed out, it is not the end of the world and other options do exist out there. I'm happy to say I'm more than halfway through training at an WO and couldn't be happier. Thank you to everyone for your constructive comments and encouragement. Much appreciated.
