I am curious to know if SkyWest is calling pilots for interviews from the pool that they had or if these are "new" applicants/new hires.
Thanks for the info!
I never heard of this. Can someone give me some more info. please? I heard about WIA before but not this emergency fund. I am on the street looking for work and money.
Thanks!
Is Flight Safety WIA?
The best thing to do is to call Flight Safety and ask them directly. I know that they are not WIA approved in California but they might be where you are. I know that Simuflite is WIA approved in California. The other question to ask is that if they are approved for that...

I would strongly recomend the military, look into it. You have to look at it with a positive attitude. There may be a possibility that it could get better.
Go to the local airport. Try to meet people that way; you might run into someone that has an airplane and you can offer to wash the...
new rule?

That means that according to the new rule that the DOJ has, you are stuck. There is nothing you can do right now but wait. The one thing that I can suggest you do is call the DOJ at (703) 414-9535 and ask to talk to Grace Mastalli, she is the Deputy Director and let her...
This is for all of you that for some reason or another had been flying for a U.S. Carrier, or charter operation and were furloghed or laid off and cannot get a job now because you have a "green card" and because of the lay off could not keep currency on an A/C that weighs more than 12500#s and...
I was laid off from a 135 operator after working there for more than three years. I was captain on a DC-3 as well as company instructor. The a/c weighs more than 12500#s (type rating required) but I am no longer current in it.
I have been looking for work for almost 5 months now and have been...
Chief pilot or 135
No question about this one. 135 without any doubts!!!
Flying 135 will make you a more experienced pilot. There are a lot of decisions that will have to be made on your part; a lot of them. Think about a flight in wx conditions, in the soup, icing and flying a twin engined...
Lear Types
You can go to the local unemployment office in your city or state and ask about this; it is called the WIA Program and is for people that have been fourghloged or laid off. The purpose of this program is to help these people in getting further training so that they can advance in...
Realistic contract pilot...
Airbaker:
The way I see it is that you are not "paying for training" to get a job. You are not buying a job, you have a lot of experience and are only trying to get ahead. You have been fourloghed and have the right to take advantage of the WIA benefits that the...
Lear Types
Box Flyr:
You can use the WIA money for any type rating you can get. It is not limited to B-737 types. I am waiting for the $$$ for my Lear type right now. You can check-out Simuflite or SIMCOM, they are both WIA approved. Simuflite is a little bit more expensive but according to...
SIMCOM Vs FLT SAFETY OR SIMUFLITE
Thanks for all the responses.
I am not funding my own training but hopefully I will get the training by obtaining Federal Funds. Unfortunatelly I do not have the money to come up with the balance to get the training at SIMUFLITE or Flight Safety since the...
Hello, I am curious to know if anyone knows the difference in getting a Lear type rating at SIMCOM/PANAM Vs Flight Safety or SimuFlite. It seems to me that while searching for jobs, most job offers will read "Flight Safety or SimuFlite trained preffered".
Thanks everyone in advance.
