There were several new hires in my CTP class that didn't have US passports... might be a bit harder to get the green card though!

Might have some issues getting TSA clearance to start training depending on which country you are from. I know a pilot who had to wait a month for TSA clearance to start training after getting a CJO (not Skywest).

The oral technical evaluation consisted of turbine engine basics, METAR/TAF decoding, trans-sonic/swept wing aero (mach tuck, etc.), a little bit of FAR speed restrictions, etc, and Jepp approach plates and STARs. My biggest issue was STARs, since flying slower aircraft meant that I'd never actually flown one, and I didn't understand them nearly as well as I'd thought I had.
They need people just like everyone else right now. If you have a good grasp of that stuff, you'll be just fine.

I was looking at the SkyWest site seniority for the ERJ and the youngest CA is 2014 in ORD and 2012 after that.
Does anyone know what the expected upgrade time is for the ERJ for a new hire?
Are new hires able to get which aircraft they want between the CRJ and ERJ?
I'm not trying to open up a can of worms or troll, but I've read that QOL is better at SkyWest than the other regionals. I'm willing to take less pay for better QOL, but what makes it so much better at SkyWest compared to the others besides the domicile choices and they haven't furloughed a pilot?
