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.
Were you able to identify the reason for the immediate denial of your application? (if you are open to sharing, of course)

I was once a Skywest cadet, interviewed earlier this year and didn't get the job. I am eligible to reapply in a few months (6 months from the rejection). Would I be okay with reapplying right now as a cadet again (to get the guarantee interview) or should I wait the 6 months and apply as a off the street FO?

Predicting the future in this industry is a fool's errand. However, all three ULCC's have revised forecasts downward for the remainder of '23 citing reduced bookings and higher fuel costs. Considering they were a huge generator of pilot hirings from the regionals, if that avenue of career movement wanes or shuts off completely, you better hope you're parked someplace you're ok being at for a while.

It's a fact. The industry runs in cycles. There is no pilot shortage, nor was there ever one. There was a temporary increase in hiring, which isn't over, but it certainly slowing. This can be seen across a number of industry sectors, and it is not unexpected.

You shouldn't be waiting to "hopefully" get on with SkyWest. Apply and move onto any airline that will take you at this point.
