Wow, 747, military, cargo and 121 guys. When I was there in May there were only 3/10 that were 121 or 135, the rest were CFI.

At my interview I made known my strong desire for the Brazilla, but got a fedex pack later that week for the CRJ. And I am a 135 guy.


My question for you guys who are already in the system. I have non flying buddies in ORD/COS/DEN that said I can move in with them so I really don't care where I go. I would also eventually like to get back to TUS, but I am looking forward to something different for the next year.
My question is
-Out of ORD/SLC/DEN/COS where is the most demand for Fo's?
-Out of DEN/COS which base would be better (I would be living in between them anyway)?
-Where does the flying out of TUS go? I look at the route map and can't figure it out. Are they mostly 4 day trips going through the socal and slc system?

Im looking forward to starting at Skywest and just wanted to be informed if I have the option to choose a base. Thanks!
ORD is so junior you could probably get a line right out of training. COS is nice too since its not so crowded and the commute isn't so bad. It is also very junior. Denver is nice and has a nice airport but it is not as junior as COS and ORD.

I interviewed early sept, there were mostly cfi, a few 135. In my bro class, there is prodominently cfi (about 75%) the rest are cargo, and i think 1 or 2 121. If you have the min times, thats all that matters, just do well in the interview and you'll be hired.

Rick and everyone,
Thanks for the input. I wrote them a email today to see if I should go to the open house in PDX or not to and they returned an email with interview dates for November. Pretty sweet luck.
If anyone has interviewed in the last month or so can you please pm me. I have some questions. Thanks.
