Couple of questions - I'm a 28-year military fighter pilot, retiring, got an interview with SkyWest. Interesting discussions, your "language" may as well be Swahili!
- When you are in training, how do they determine what base you go to? Can you request a base? Is that part of the interview process?
- If you get hired, is there a contractual requirement to work for the company for a certain amount of time? I've heard that if you get a call from a major you can just walk away - is this true?
Thanks in advance folks!

Why wouldn't you just walk away if you got a call from a major anyway?

Lol, I absolutely would if I could. Haven't flown USAF since 2006, so I've been told I have to get current/qualified at a regional to be marketable to a major. I was told that by the guys at Emerald Coast Interview Prep, and they are pretty well plugged in across the board at regionals and majors.
Any good thoughts on the two questions?

Where are you hoping to get based? You wouldn't be the first ex-military guy to come here. Flew with a retired USAF Colonel recently, fascinating guy. Wished I could have listened to his tales for a few more days.

Not that I care, but know that any business that repeatedly gets burned in some fashion is going to set itself up not to get burned in the future.
Do what you need but know that if a host military new hires bail in four months, your military buddies behind you might not look like the best candidates in the interview room in the future.

If they want new hires to feel loyal to the company they're going to have to pay them a bit more than 18k the first year.
