False.........we are in dire need of pilots. Recruiting is probably just too swamped and have not got back yet.

No forgiveness needed. I believe (and am probably wrong) that type ratings now are being issued to first officers as a product of everyone being required to posses an ATP regardless of seat occupied. This means that individuals coming in without an ATP already in hand are required to some sort of "ride" in order to get it.
As for "upgrade" I think you are spot on about how training should go. It's crazy times my friend.

It was hard back in the day as well, but different, you could still show up, make your way around the patch a few times and get hired to fly a Beech 18 ... best times I ever had, but they appear to have dried up. So I guess Different times, different challenges...

So excited to start next week with intro day and then we go from there.
At recruiting event they told us they need to hire at least a pilot a day until the end of 2018. To expect 6 months minimum of reserve.
I live in San Diego so asked for LAX and even if Skywest now has a base in San Diego I have chosen Compass. Will see how will work out, just concerned about traffic for short call....
Good luck

Don't worry they are going to call you if you have what they are loking for. I applied online and they called me the day after. Did my interview 2 weeks later and hired on spot.

Absolutely and this is why I'm not concern, I just need to figure out how I will handle short call from my house in Encinitas ..... I would love to avoid to travel up to LAX if not needed

Congrats and welcome aboard! For what it's worth I've been on short call reserve for 6+months and 70% of the time they call me, they have given me well over 3 hours notice. That said, living in SAN you wouldn't be able to make a 2 hour callout. The parking/airport process takes an hour.
