That's great that myself and others that sucessfully went through the interview process are in the same category of "being able to fog a mirror". I know I studied hard for the interview, but if I actually suck, at least I have a skill of being able to fog up that mirror.

Welcome to the club man. At least take some solace in the fact that SKW held out the longest of probably all the regionals with their hiring standards. But 'dem day are over.

Thanks for the info guys. My other interviews went great, but this one is at the top of my list so I am a bit nervous about this one!

Appreciate the tips.

I understand. It makes sense. When the pilot pool diminishes, they have to find a way to fill their need and it seems to begin with relaxing the interview process a bit. Then again, I have no idea how difficult the process was in the past.

Wow, project much? My comments were meant to be tongue and cheek. But it's true that that SKW has historically been known to have one of the toughest interviews to pass.

X2

Until very recently we were turning away 50-60% of our applicants. I found this it through the captain who interviewed me (no longer here). This changed when a certain individual got canned-erm, "resigned."

I have recently been hired on the CRJ. Class date is June 29. I would like to change to the ERJ. Are we allowed to request that or will it likely upset somebody.

It will not upset anyone. Call and ask, the worst they can say is it's not available. Be polite and you won't have any issues.
