Applying to skywest

[walangtakot]

Hello I am an 1100 hour pilot just applying to skywest. I applied to skywest, expressjet and Chautaqua and I got little confirmation thankyou emails from expressjet and chautaqua but nothing from skywest is this normal? or did I possibly screw something up? Also I already got a call from Chautaqua 3 days but have not heard yet from Skywest or expressjet. How long do you think is normal to wait. Thanks for your help
Hardworking pilot.

Go to a SkyWest group interview. Otherwise it could take months to hear anything at all. If you do the group thing you'll get a full interview date on the spot.

Haven't you heard that they all like to go the "group thing" out in Utah? That's the only way to get into heaven, aka, get hired by SkyWest.

Lol John and they will get their own planet, or universe or some crap like that. Wait, they also get to wear their own underwear. Hmm makes me want to go sign up right now..... NOTTTTTT

1100 hours? You are over qualified for a regional.

From what I know, Skywest won't send you a thank you letter or anything. Just be patient, and keep checking your junk mail folder. For some reason their email gets put in there...I know a lot of people who were invited for interviews, but never knew about it because the email went into the junk mail folder and not their inbox........

The group interview is the fastest way to get an interview there. If you can't make it to one, be patient...it'll probably take them about a month, but they'll get to you if you're qualified.....

Hey thanks for all the replies

Thanks for all of the replies and help. I would like to work for skywest but my only question is do they really need/want me. Two other airlines have called and it didn't take them anywhere near a month.

Be patient and go where you want to be. You won't regret it.
