Hello everyone,

Check your junk email folder. I know two guys who had their interview invitations in their hotmail junk folder.

They are interviewing like mad. I know they are having group interviews all this week and next week. All line pilots have been asked to forward any applications of people they know with the requirements to HR.

As PN said make sure all your bases are covered. Search for friends that have friends that fly for SW. Nothing can beat an internal rec from a well-liked employee. Start studying now for the interview including the HR portion and if they still do a problem solving exercise (CRM.) Best of all keep the faith and believe in yourself - your time and experience will speak for itself.

Good luck - it is the best regional out there. I had a VERY fun 6 years!

What's the deal with group interviews? Do you just raise your hand when you know the answer?

What is HR and how can I find those group interviews.

I must have missed the reasoning part . Tell me again, which Chapter 11 airline (current or future) do you WANT to go to work for and why ?

Good Luck and .....

HR = Human Resources or as SkyWest calls it, the People Department.

There are no Group Interviews on the schedule, but could be found at that site if there were.

The group interviews mentioned on their website is when they go around the country and hold group interview sessions. They did this in LA a couple of years ago. Anyone can show up to one of those.

The group interviews they are having this week are by invitation only and are being held in SLC. It is also not a gigantic group like the ones around the country. They are typically around 20 to 30. It is not a group interview per se just a bunch of people getting interviewed on the same day. The only thing done as a group is the CRM session and that is typically 3 or 4 people.
