I know this is somewhat of a joke, but is it really that easy to get hired these days if you get an interview? Does anyone have an average statistic of how many are getting hired after the interview?

Thanks.

I interviewed at 4 airlines and SkyWest was by more the most thorough and intense interview. They do a great job of getting you at ease and comfortable but you had better come prepared. They aren't just giving jobs away to guys who show up like a lot of other regionals. You still have to earn your job there.

There were 10 of us the day I went. 3 disappeared before the day was over, 2 of us got calls the same day (trying to fill 1/27 class) and I haven't heard that anyone else has received a call yet. It was just over a week ago though.

IIRC about half of our interview group was offered positions. Seems like SKW won't hire anybody just to fill a class which isn't a bad thing. PM me if you're in the 1/27 class.

You're already leaving Horizon? What happened?

Hey Cruz, Silver, horizon and now Skywest? Nice, try them all so I can seek your advice on where to go as I get ready to apply
Maybe Compass next?
