I've only flown with one person who freely admits to posting here and he's not exactly the most liked person at the company, and takes pride in that fact. Those are the kinds of pilots you're dealing with here.

It really is funny how some people think this forum could possibly ever reflect the majority of pilots at any airline.
Come on guys, I would be SHOCKED if even 5% out of 3000 Skywest pilots have ever even posted on here. This is true for any airline out there.
Take things you read with a grain of salt. If I took what I read on here as a representative of the majority I would believe every SkyWest pilot is arrogant (even though the really arrogant one's here are actually SkyWest dispatchers), every XJT pilot is a ****ed off pile of misery, every Go Jet pilot is a scab, every Mesa pilot was not good enough to get hired elsewhere, and so on and so on.

The reality is, for whatever reason (quite probably the fact that he'd be out of there sooner than management would prefer, considering his quals), Skywest decided not to hire him. His likely disappointment was obviously mixed with some 'amusement" as to why they didn' hire him.

Hey Guys,
Can anyone who has interviewed at Skywest within the last few months share their experience of the time period between they were interviewed and notified when they were accepted or not?
My rumor mill has it all over the board.
Thanks!

Talk and action within the airline industry is typically a slow process.
The 200's aren't going away overnight.
Word is that something big is to be announced soon, probably that we are whoring ourselves to fly what eagle said no too?
No leverage, no union, no voice?
