Wait till your skywest brochure comes in the mail.

Lmao! Our HR dept, with regards to hiring, is a joke. I got an email a year and a half after starting here telling me they were not interested. Umm I guess I'll go ahead and not show up for my next trip 😂

I also know one of my referrals, who did complete an interview, got a call a month later from someone in HR saying that they had seen I had recommend in him and were wanting to get to know him. Umm ***?

It's really sad. God only knows how many candidates they have missed out on.

Does anyone have input as to how the schedule is set up for ATW BI & Systems (hours) and CPT and Sim in CLT. Much appreciated thanks.

Indoc will be 2 weeks. You will have one test the first Friday and another test the second Friday. The second Friday's test is cumulative so you will see some of the content from week 1. They aren't very hard.

The last 2 weeks are systems. It can be tough. You have a big packet of homework each night and a lot of reading etc. Study in groups and you will be fine. You only have one test and it is on the last Friday. 100 questions need an 80%. If you fail you get one retake and it will be done before starting CPT in CLT. Just have a good attitude, ask questions and study with a group and you will get through it.

Both Indoc and Systems are M-F usually 8-5. Somedays, if you guys work hard and get done, you might be released around 3-4.

CPT is 5 days and held in CLT (as far as I know). Sim is 10 sessions.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Don't hesitate to PM as well.

Goodluck!

That is kind of funny. Like Billy said, it is pretty bad when skywest just sends it out to any one with an ATP......even their own employees. But hey, they just show it as a loss.....on the expressjet financials.

All correct except guys as of late are going to Flight safety in CVG and recurrent is in CLT. Few guys in each class might get CLT depending on Back flow or whatever.

All NHs go to CVG for sim

CTP do their 10 hours of sim at CLT

And yes, occasionally a few NHs will get CLT for initial.

Plus...I know this is why you chose us...we get our iPads tomorrow...we think.

Air Wisconsin should be a last resort for someone looking to get into the airlines. The one and only exception I can come up with is if you live in Norfolk or maybe NY and don't want to move. If you live in Philly or DC go to Republic or Piedmont. If you commute don't even think about it. No flow, no future (as of right now) and airplanes that are destined for the desert. Enjoy the iPads though, it only took 2 1/2 years after the testing phase started to make a decision.

Even if you live in ORF you have to remember the extension with American is up Feb 2018. If they sign with Delta or got back to United then that base would probably close. They will need to lock in a another long term deal with American or the other 2 and have some stability before you take a chance on just living in one of their bases.
