[Jet_Dreamer]

Squirrely-
what was the interview like? what kind of questions did they ask you? were you at the job fairs back in march? what was the sim profile like?

i have an interview at the end of the month. any input would be great. thanks.

CRJCAPT - Camielle's email is [email protected] I don't know the trick to getting an interview. I just updated my online profile and exchanged a few emails with Camielle. I'm new to this game as an 11 year military pilot.
Jet -dreamer - No jobs fairs, look back a few replys in the same string for my details. I'll get around to updating aviationinterviews.com with interview details this weekend.

Andy,
You seem like a good guy. I have 7,600 total, CRJ type, (around 200 jet PIC), and need all the help I can. I just did the on-line app. thing. I need to know, can I expect something quickly, especially if I am available immediately?? Who else should I contact? what email, fax or PH#??, how often? without getting them upset? etc..
I can take all the advice.
Thanks a lot.

squirrely, congrats on the job offer. See you in basic indoc.
1. I donn't have a good handle on the length of jet reserve. I can tell you that reserfe levels system wide are dropping implying shorter than normal reserve times. Obviously folks transitioning from the Brasilia will have shorter reserve periods (if any) because they will have a year seniority over newhires.

2. CRJ bases are SLC, TUS, and FAT in order of ease of award.

3. Ground school will take Christmas week off but don't expect any breaks over New Years.

crjcapt,

What you should expect quickly is an email from Camielle saying that your online resume' has been received. It would be really helpful to get three letters of recommendation from SkyWest pilots ASAP. Those carry a lot of weight and get her attention. Beyond that, I would update the online resume' at 90 day intervals (no more or less frequently).

Good luck.

Andy,

Just one quick question for ya...

I sent the online resume/app, but got no email of receipt from Camielle. Does that mean it didn't go through, or that i am just underqual'd for the current positions?

Email confirmation

I wouldn't worry about the email confirmation.. they stopped sending them about 8 mos ago methinks.. have updated twice without getting a confirmation..
Good luck, and save me a spot!

Squirrely, congrats on the job offer. From my view in the company I would think about the SLC base. You being a commuter means that you will want to being Flying and not sitting while on reserve. SMF to SLC should be a good commute, FOG permitting. The reserves in slc are flying more now and you may try for the smf overnights. I would plan on being reserve for 6 or more months, starting in Feb when your training is complete. This is flying the Crj of course.

SkyWest bases seniority for new hires on SSN?

 

[Andy Neill]

starchkr,

IF you had the 1000/100/100, you should receive an email confirmation within 2 weeks of submission of an online resume'. If you didn't, you won't.

FlyboyPhil,

I believe SKyWest is still sending out email confirmations of the initial online application but not for updates. (Neill WITH the I).

VFR on Top,

Seniority among those with the same hire date (beginning of ground school) use the last 4 of the SSAN. Low numbers = highest seniority.

Is it OK to ask the interviewer for their opinion on Whipsawing the separate pilot groups?

 

[SSDD]

Of course it is. And while you're at it, ask their opinion on gay marriage, polygamy, and the prospects in legalizing marijuana in the state of Utah.

Its regular SkyWest line pilots that conduct the interviews with one person from HR possibly sitting in and she will probably have no idea what you're talking about.
