And that was the last time scheduling and reserve didn't suck.....

Why study or buy gouge? The "standards" are what I posted. You could come in wearing shorts, flip flops and a Bob Marley tshirt and still get hired. The days of begging for a regional job are gone, they are now paying signing bonuses and increasing pay. DUIs and felony convictions no longer matter, if you can pass a security background check, pee in a cup without melting the bottom out, and manage to pass AQP with less than 10 sim sessions and 100 IOE hours you are Skywest material.
I will reiterate,
FAA minimums will get you the job, keeping it will consist of not raping an F/A(Skywest), they don't care about any others, what you do on your own time is OK. Your time on line will amuse me to no end, the fine example was yesterday during a UAL bank departure.
F/O-"Ground good morning this is Skywest 6345, sitting at gate 80, we have information bravo, we would like to push and start engines.
Ground-I don't have a 6345,
13 other F/O mainline, regional and a medivac try to call at the same time for push/taxi.
In the nanosecond where there was no radio carrier on the air mr 6345, keys up and says "sorry about that ground, we are Skywest 367V asitting at gate 80, we have information bravo, we would like to push and start engines.
Ground-"Skywest 367V standby for 5 minutes I will call you"
While I paraphrased some and changed the call signs to protect the guilty, I must thank the 175 F/O and his Captain, I have not been entertained like that in a long time, one guy completely balling up an entire airports ground operation, the cascading domino effect was classic. It was 5 minutes of pure chaos!

Thanks for the tips. Started looking at both of those sites. Very informative.

Hey man, if that's what they're into, it ain't for me to judge.

Maybe if they didn't use those call signs on literally every other leg that wouldn't happen, besides he just banked another 5 mins of block good on him.

I love when it's super busy on the ground freq. and that one guy decides to tell his life's story as if he's back taking private lessons.

The ten O'Clock bank is no laughing matter, break.

It's either those or the alternative of figuring out who ATC is trying to talk to. SKW6456 or SKW6546 or SKW6646 or maybe its SWA6456.

Which would work if the new call signs weren't SKW889V or 885V yes we had a day maybe even two recently that were close together.

The joys of flying coast to coast and Alaska to Mexico.

New guy, remove head from sphincter, breathe. It was about new guys who think they are still working the radio at the local class D airport on a Thursday afternoon. So it was you, huh?
If you listen to the radio chatter hearing the planes on both sides of you push, and traffic being told to hold short of the taxi way right behind you, it's called situational awareness. You ain't pushing until the traffic behind you is gone, or you can ask the tug driver, "anyone behind us" before clogging up the freq, with your inane BS chit chat CB trucker lingo "good buddy" chat.
