SkyWest News

[Andy Neill]

These posts prompted a bit of curiosity in me so I did some checking into the statistics and here is what I found.

Among those people who met SkyWest minimums but did not apply, we interviewed 0%. The rates were significantly higher for those that did apply.

I know I'm sending a resume in to them (Skywest), and I had planned on it before. I realize there's no harm in taking a chance. I was just trying to get a feel for how realisitic it is to expect a call from them without any LOR. Thanks for the responses.

Meeting mins..

As Andy said.. without applying you definitely don't get hired. As for being competetive, in the current newhire groundschool we have one pilot in the 5k+ range and 2 under 1200 hrs.. a couple former 737 pilots and a few with only instructing experience so it takes all sorts..
Current rumor is that we will be hiring a class a month the rest of the year.. find a friend at skywest and get that app in. Took me 3 years of pestering Andy to get here..
Good luck all,
Philip
