Maybe the fact that they aren't is trying to tell you something...?

Last time I checked they rejected more than 50% of the applicants in the Sim alone...wouldn't they have more success filling class if they got rid of the Sim than say...offering $5K?

I see more Airline guys in my neck of woods who can not fly "basic IFR" in Frasca 142. YMMV.

How about the airline pilots who can not pass SkyWest SIM? I have personally spoken to and heard of many who didn't. Should they get their Instrument rating revoked?

Last I heard they were not going to offer any kind of signing bonus but instead offer a referral bonus. Camielle is in fact no longer in charge of hiring.

This would go along with the rumor stated somewhere else that they are trying to get a short course approved

LOL. This guy again. Get off your high horse and go get your CFI ratings first so you know what you're talking about. Nobody here likes you. I am new here and I can already tell.

You just intercept random airline pilots at the airport toss them into a Frasca for an impromptu PC?
All hail to the all powerful FaceBitter who is lord of the Frasca. I failed the Skywest sim and proud of it.

I failed it too. Then I went and flew cargo out of Denver for a year. Geez, I'm lucky to be alive.

Now the airlines aren't even being coy about it, they'll give you money to leave your current carrier if you are typed and current.
