Match point, what do you have to say about the "get current and bail" post by no pants. I am afraid of a tremendous amount of money wasted.

I think it's 5 gone from my new hire class none have moved on to another airline besides 1 to a major. I guess my idea of attrition isn't those who just up and quit because the job isn't worth it, because I've seen dozens of those leave in my last 3 years.

Junior line holders tend to get the left over shorter trips, locals and two days or lower credit four days. It really depends on our trip mix. A couple of months ago we had stand-ups and a lot of locals that made the natives restless so the trip mix changed towards more three and four day trips. The longer trips tend to go more senior to minimize commutes and drives to/from. Reserve is most definitely shorter on the Bro than the RJ.

Locals are day trips with no overnight. Standups involve a late flight to an outstation, a few hours in a hotel, followed by the early flight back to the hub. They pay five hours for two legs with a nap in between. Used to be the nap was not required, if there were delays you could be up all night and never make it to the hotel but FAR 117 now requires that some hotel rest actually occur on these schedules.

That is very true, I ageee with you 100%.. The SKW interview is NOT forgiving at all..
Even I fell victim to the mighty Frasca. Everything else went great but I made 1 stupid mistake, actually 2 really dumb mistakes in the sim & that was it.
I had big hopes on SKW & I am really very disappointed now.
So to all the aspiring people, do not take this interview lightly if you want to get hired here...

Interview complete. If you're applying there, HAVE YOUR CRAP TOGETHER FOR THE INTERVIEW. Make sure you go pay for and do several simulator rides before you go. At least 3 guys did not make it through the interview process due to the sim, and there were good dudes. There's plenty of gouge out there about the technical questions, both on the test and in the interview - know that stuff cold or don't even bother showing up. They're not just taking whoever shows up.
