Does anyone know what the SkyWest background checks involve these days? I have heard it used to be (or maybe still is) just reference checks and 10 year crim history - which shouldn't take them too long I wouldn't think. But I have been waiting for mine to be completed for quite some time now so just curious if there are now additional steps going on. Further, can anyone tell me if they had to wait til they started training for checks to be complete? I have nothing to hide but I still feel uneasy resigning from my current job without knowing for certain they are 100% happy with everything.
Thanks guys!

I interviewed in early June and was in the July 25 ground, I don't think they finished background until week 2 of ground. In fact there were stories of ppl getting pulled from ground and terminated after stuff was discovered with PRIA or criminal history but that's all just second hand hearsay I can't say for sure.
Someone dropped the ball on Mowgli. Some slip through the cracks.

I am in the cadet program. They took our prints when we visited SLC and we signed the background consent at that time. That was last fall. Can I assume my background check has been run by now?

It might but honestly as a Compass guy we barely have any MSP departures, already... which is why the base is closing. No flying for them to do there. And supposedly DL is shrinking MSP, other carriers have been advised as well. So I'm not sure I'd count on this, but maybe.

No prints yet. Certainly have no criminal history so all good there I think. Thanks guys, just thought all checks would have been done before even starting class but guess that isn't the way they do it. Makes sense now.

Until your fingerprints are taken during training, the FBI check isn't complete.
Don't worry if everything is clean.
