Hey Rogue5,

Thanks for the info. Do you, or anyone else for that matter, know the specifics of the group interviews? The time of the LAX presentation? I'm hoping to head out to the one at LAX, but If it happens to be a late day, I'll have to head out to SLC and cut a vacation short. Which of course would be well worth it, just less convenient. Lastly, should we notify them if we will be going out there? Thanks!

They will administer the written test and do a meet-n-greet and company presentation. They are currently working on the fact that you can't bring a printed out copy of your application like it asks you to, so just fill out the online app, no notification required. Bring resume, medical (CURRENT) and licenses. Basically, just follow the instructions and arrive on time and well-dressed. We are in need of pilots, and many many applicants have been turned away because they just assumed that it meant they would get a free pass and they didn't come prepared.

Do you just show up or do you need an invite?

 

[SpyFlysDOTs]

Open House means no invite needed...
That is the way it has worked on past Open Houses.
You have to have the minimum hours required, listed on the website.

I know a SkyW pilot that was trying to get a buddy an interview a few months after some past RoadShows.

I, er HE was trying to get this pilot noticed, but preference was given to pilots who showed up and completed the road show.

This is all my opinion..since I am not on the hiring team, so take everything I write with a grain of salt!

Can you get transportation to any of the open houses?

 

[ilkwamh2]

Yeah, you can buy a plane ticket Smarta$$

Why would someone buy a plane ticket when every other airline I know provides transportation to an interview jacka$$.

Are you a plumber, as in Second Officer, or one of those dudes that unscrews the aerators at every public mens room sink, so I get sprayed when washing hands?.?

If you can jumpseat, that may be your solution.

Most of the hotels provide transportation from the airport.

You may know someone who could provide you with a buddy pass, or spring for a low cost ticket?

Its an open house, you come if you want, if they like they give you a space available pass fo the sim check.

I went to the roadshow in PDX back in 2001. I hopped in my car and drove from my house in Beaverton. After passing the roadshow, I got invited for an interview. My pass flight got cancelled last minute. The interviewers called and asked me if I wanted to reschedule the interview. You know what I said? HELL NO! I'll be there! Bought a ticket on Southwest and made the interview. If you want to work here... here's your time to show us. Come on... be realistic... you really expect the company shell out an insane amount of money to get you a pass to what is essentially an open house? Southwest is having an open house this weekend. Do you think they're flying everybody down? This is an opportunity for those who want to stand out and GET the job. Not just sit by and wait for a call. It's really a WIN-WIN situation... the applicants get a great opportunity and it helps our company to recruit pilots. If you don't agree with it, sit back and wait for the phone to ring.

Hmmm... I was just reading a little... have some extra time on my hands. Looks like Smarta$$ works for Transtates. Why are you reading about a Skywest open house? If your attitude is anything like your posts on flightinfo... PLEASE stay far away from our airline! Thanks in advance and flame away!

My attitude is actually quite good. You may be aware of how Trans States treats its pilots and the unrest of thier pilot group. Can you expect someone to be happly about that.

In your reading you may have come accross the fact that I have never bad mouthed skywest are any other pilot group outside of the Trans States family. Therefore I believe your comments about my attitude are unfounded. If I am bitter about Trans States and Gayjets, I would think you would understand that much. Thank you.

Ok..so if I have a few CA's and FO's at Skywest who could walk in my stuff....it is better to show at this open house? Are they not inviting people to individual interviews at all?

If you have a "few" Captains and a "few" FOs that could walk your stuff in, why don't you?
Since these open houses wont take place for a few weeks, you would get a jump on these events.
If I were doing the hiring, and had a few Ca and FOs walk in the same persons resume, there would be a compelling reason to interview that person.

While I am NOT on the hiring team at SkyW, im still doing HR for my previous employer.

Sorry, if I misread your posts. I have many friends over at Trans States right now, so I know all the stuff going on with *************************s. I support you guys 100% and hope everything works out. I interviewed for a ramp position there during college (back in '95) and I decided, after the interview, I would never go anywhere near that place! Good luck with everything!

 

[pookie]

SKYW,

Is there an actual place called Beaver town?

 

[SKYW Pilot]

Yes, there is... unfortunately, it's not what you think!
