thanks for the help I would think that with how young they purposely keep thier pilot group, should'nt they have enough cash laying around to pay you something for training .... just curious?
 
It changed a while ago. They pay you for 65 hrs / month at first year FO pay. Not much, but it's something. You get 2 uniform shirts and 2 pants plus Jepps. Double occupancy hotel. The Bro guys get the nicer of the two hotels...

Last I heard, they don't pay you at all. It could have changed due to their demand for pilots, though.

They pay in training, 60hrs till IOE then 75hr guarantee. Double occupancy hotel, Jepps, and uniform all paid for. Also positive space travel to/from home when needed.

Granted I think it should be 75hr guarantee and single occupancy, and while we are at it 30 dollars/hr wage for starters.
 
I think that SKW also pays per-diem while in training.
 
what do people mean when they say "positive space" travel in training? Should'nt it be? They are training you for a job at their company, are'nt they? it just seems like some people think that a company providing travel to train is a privelege? It should be a requirement! I don't get it

It is considered a privilege because some airlines do not, you are simply there until they have you trained. You are always more than welcome to jump home, positive space is nice because its a seat/ticket and that equals you worrying less about traveling home for the weekend.
 
"scumb of the industry"

Reminds me of the McDonalds in the Y at ORD. Credit card reader must have been MEL'ed so they put out a sign to let everyone know that they had to pay with cash. The sign read "no crebit cards"

Airtime is in good company.

Get with the times, man. That was newspeak for "credit or debit cards".
 
Clarification:

No per diem during initial training. Later on, if you are not based in SLC, you'll get per diem for training in SLC.

Additionally, you start earning regular guarantee (75/mo) after the CHECKRIDE, not at the beginning of IOE. This is an important distinction right now because there is a 3-5 week wait for IOE...so you're earning regular guarantee while watching Gilligan's Island from the comfort of your own couch.
 
or maybe he is not a square with the standard blonde hair and blue eyed look that they always seem to go for! Hmmmm Hmmmmm Hmmmmm!

Then don't a-hole. If you are coming here with a sh!tty attitude, save and work some place else.

You know what you're getting into.
 
I am not comming there with a bad attitude. Attitude is everything! If life hands you lemons, then make lemon soup! People with bad attitudes should not even be hired!I have a very positive attitude actually and am very excited to begin training. by the way, are you allowed to nonrev around during the 3-5 weeks off that someone said in a previous post prior to beginning IOE. Also, is it true that you pay per segment when you nonrev? thanks for the info! Relax Haas! no hard feelings "CFIT"
 
Double occupancy, that sucks.. Oh wait, Mesa didn't give me crap for a hotel!
60 hour guarantee during training? Well, (see #1) I'll take the extra 1200 bucks for the hotel, plus uniform, plus leather Jepps instead of the glorious mesa 3 ring Destroyer Class Jepp Shredders!

DO they really fly you home each weekend?
 
No, they do not fly you home every weekend. I went home every two-three weeks. Our travel coordinator is a sweet lady, and if you're nice and polite she has a magical way of making traveling home easy. ;) Amazing what some manners gets you these days.

I love these kinds of posts!! So who do you fly for? Show us the errors of our ways! PLEASE, AIRTIME! I need to be saved from the HORRIBLE Skywest!!!

Man, this guy has been doggin' Skywest every single post for almost the past two years! Did it hurt you that much getting rejected after the interview?

Total flamebait, but fun nonetheless!!

Double occupancy is a heck of a lot better than TSA where they just pay you guarantee and you're on your own for the hotel.
