Wow, you got an interview date 6 weeks out? Was that your choice or is that the soonest they can get you in?

My preference for that date. I am in college and will be between quarters so I will have time to prep for the interview. There is a Career fair Military MOJO June 29-30 Seattle Sheraton that SkyWest is attending. I am in the cadet program so have just been waiting until I had enough total time.

Really you only need 1475 hours when you start training as between ATP CTP and training for either CRJ or ERJ you will get the remaining 25 hours there.

Agree with the above! I would much rather fly with a new CFI fresh off IOE, than a former military guy who thinks he knows everything and has a crap attitude because he has been "stuck" here longer than he wanted.
As to your second comment, agree as well. I have to place the blame on some of our CAs as well. Being "laid back" on SOP isn't helping anyone. The newer guys are like sponges, absorbing everything good or bad.

Careful with lumping all former military as know it alls... being cocky is a personal choice, not a result of where you came from..

I've flown with dozens of US military folks, 2 French Air Force pilots, and 2 Israeli Air Force pilots (most of whom were here less than a year). I have found each one (so far) to be extremely professional, humble, and eager to learn. My only complaint with a few of them is that they speak in this weird foreign acronym language.
