I would have to strongly concur.

Easy peasy,
"Whocares" has that all sewn up, next year it will be wide open after he gets fired for lipping off to Roy G.

Hmm, I interviewed in April and the interview was straight out of the gouge. Almost word for word...

I prepared for that. The interview was pretty accurate. Now, shockingly, they'll want an applicant to know how to read Jeppesens. Also, they'll want you to know how to fly an approach and the mins. They may expect that you've seen an arrival or departure and can brief an emergency, therein.

Did your UA pass program change for 2015 (i.e. parents and enrolled friend paying segment fees)?

Not that we know of, nothing's been announced yet. Though it wouldn't surprise me.

United tried to introduce segment fees last year... SkyWest balked, so the pass program remained unchanged. United loves to tell everyone how much money pass travel costs them and they are going to try to do as much as possible to try and recoup some costs. I am absolutely positive they are again going to try and make SkyWest pay segment fees, but don't think it will happen.

Question Interview Materials

I'm hoping to interview with SW in a couple months. I flew for them about 5 yrs ago, had kids, had to quit, am trying to go back. My books are all about 5 yrs old. I have the old everything explained for the Professional pilot 4th edition. It was my favorite. Is it worth $50 to get the 10th edition? Has enough changed?

At a minimum, all of the rest rules/FAR 117 stuff has changed since that edition.
