Reserve guarantee on the RJ isn't much of a pay raise over a 90 hour line on the Bro. When I transition I worked out that I'll likely take a pay cut. I commute from an RJ base though and would rather be on reserve in base than holding a line as a commuter.

Has anyone gone through the interview at Osh Kosh? I'm hoping to attend later this week.

From all the negative posts, there has only been positive at the show and been a great experience for those curious on who Skywest is, to college students wanting to make connections.
Key things if you show up wanting to interview:
-up to date app on airline apps
-bring resume
-bring a good attitude and enjoy the show
If you can only spare time to do the interview 1 on 1 or the written test and come back later, that's encouraged. The main thing they have said we want great people but they want you to enjoy the airshow first.
Hope that helps.
