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.

Double checked my app and there were no errors. I guess they think I’ll bounce quickly and not worth hiring me?

I got TBNT as well this week after applying, no interview. Just shy of 1800 hours, a little over 300 turbine since I was in the time frame of all regionals stopping hiring of FOs and I took a turbine job to get out of the CFI world.

The regionals are back in the normal universe where they have more applicants than spots. Wouldn’t take it personally.

FYI I spoke with someone recently who was around your stats, got the TBNT at SkyWest but hired at Southwest. He’s at Delta now.

300 hours turbine? Dude apply to United, they’re hiring guys/gals with 1,800 and no college degree from Frontier every class. When you get 500 hours turbine apply to Southwest.
