You all win. See ya in December.

I just got a class date and filled out the online form for them to set up my travel and hotel. I'm a little confused though. It has a drop down menu to select the Skywest airport I would depart from. So I have to get myself to one of their airports? The positive spaced me out for the interview from the nearest largest airport, but now I have to drive 8-10 hours to get to one of theirs? I sure hope not!

Unless it's changed from two years ago (which it certainly may have), they should positive space you on a flight from your "home" airport.

Its from the airport you plan to be domiciled at. They will positive space you back and forth but your on your own on how to get there. Once you get travel privileges you can jumpseat back home

That may be true once a domicile is assigned, but for a new hire?

Hey to the new person in that situation - First: Welcome aboard! Second: Have you heard they need pilots? Give your recruiter contact a call and see what can be done... never hurts to ask... especially when they need pilots.

Another new hire question(s)....

A few days before me leaving for my class date today I get a email from new hire employment asking me to create an account, log on, fill out a some forms or such and take a on-line training something or another, which all has to be done 4 days before my class date. Now that's a challenge. It also has to be Windows platform with Internet Explorer. Basically no one in my area uses that anymore. So I have to make arrangements to go to a friends office to do this. I need to budget my and their time, over a holiday weekend, for doing this. Since I can't register I can't see what this is all about. So, does anyone know what this consists of, and how long does it take?, including the on-line training, whatever that is.

Also, once on the property will my Apple lap top with Chrome- Safari- Firefox work or will doing company e business be all PC?

You can do everything on your Mac. The company is very windows-centric, but everything work fine. You have to use a browser with flash support to do the cbt training on an iPad.

Call and let them know your situation. If they can do anything for you, they will. I've never had any issues with the training department helping out when they can, YMMV. Welcome aboard!
