Got the call from SkyWest - Page 2

The Juice · June 26th, 2008, 00:34

I interviewed a few weeks back. I am currently working for a 121 carrier but want a back up plan just in case. I found out when I was there that people do sim prep and ground work for this interview..hmm, go figure.

Interview was straight forward, no big deal. I was asked if I was interested in the Bro or CRJ. Since this is just a back up plan I wanted the CRJ because I should have a better understanding of my airlines stability when class date came around.

Got call 2 days later saying I got the CRJ and a packet would be coming in the mail. Came FedEx with some new hire info and the limitations study guide.

Nice people and seems like a good place.

Tomorrow will be day 5 for me....

maschmi2 · June 26th, 2008, 08:24

Today is day 6 for me. Ugh...

maschmi2 · June 26th, 2008, 21:58

So I just got the email that I've been hired!! Turns out, however, that I'm in a pool. There is now a pool for both the CRJ AND the EMB. 44 people in the RJ pool, 23 in the EMB pool, 8 pending aircraft assignment including myself. Ugh... Any thoughts?

It took 11 days for them to call me - I was a train wreck. I felt bad for the other cfi/ students around me at work because I must have been a woman lol.

Just be patient - you'll know soon. Best of luck to you and hope to see ya @ SLC.

Congratz on the offer! Take the EMB as you will probably be out of the pool quicker. They must have filled up that August class quicker then I thought.

maschmi2 · June 27th, 2008, 00:24

There is a person who apparently assigns aircraft. She's been out of the office. I plan on taking the EMB assuming it is the first available class. Funny part is, she mentioned a July class that was full, but there was no mention of an August class. I'm wondering if that's why the EMB pool is 23. There are 8 of us that are pending aircraft assignment until that lady returns to the office. After aircraft is assigned then we'll receive the package that contains study materials.

Congrats and welcome aboard! We have 22 new aircraft (previously announced/planned) coming in the fall, plus the Broskis are sticking around longer than planned. You will be out of the pool pretty quick methinks.

Sweet. Someone in another forum interviewed mid-May and is in the August 4th class. Maybe they're just leary of scheduling a September class so far in advance. But if they only put 20 in a class, and there are 23 in the EMB pool and 8 others waiting on aircraft assignment, then it looks like the possible Sept class is full too. Argh...

No worries, the wait will be worth it.

mrmeschi-make sure you check your spam folder. That's where I found my congratulatory email. I would imagine you'd get it by COB today.

mrmeschi · June 27th, 2008, 15:11

Yeah I got an email. No offer for me.

I guess I will try again in 6 months depending on what the industry looks like. Maybe Ill get lucky like wanabe and get a job flying a Hawker...Hey a guy can wish right?

maschmi2 · June 27th, 2008, 16:48

I'm sorry to hear that buddy. I was really hoping you'd hear something positive. Keep doing your thing and something awesome will come your way. I've been turned down from a lot of jobs, and it always seems there's only one company that will take a chance on me, and things just fall right into place. So, I think things happen for a reason. SkyWest was my 6th interview this year. Three turned me down, Eagle cancelled class 5 days prior, and was supposed to finish the Sim portion of my Colgan interview in 3 days, and just found out they're cancelling all interviews. So...keep doing your thing and good luck...

mrmeschi · June 27th, 2008, 18:30

Hey thanks. Yeah I have some good things going for me, Im not going to let it get to me. I really did like the company and enjoyed the experience. We will see what happens in 6 months.

Especially if XJT is furloughing and SKW is hiring at the same time.

How sure are you that you guys will be furloughing?
