Ha I'm at Jetblue. I have no desire to work for American. My friend has had a little mishap with faa a few years ago with a 135 carrier. Just going to be honest with them about it in the interview, I'm trying to get him into the 121 world instead of what he was doing. Thanks for the advice. Psa would be nice for the bases (lives close to cvg) but sounding like envoy might be quicker option for flow (he is older so might be a little better).

And to be honest, while having a flow in the back pocket is certainly nice, for a new hire today, it shouldn't really be the determining factor for choosing a regional. If I personally were choosing a regional to work for today, I would be looking at:

PSA, Piedmont, or Envoy based on whichever one had a base I lived in or could commute to easily, Endeavor, or SkyWest if I wanted a west coast base. Maybe CommutAir if United is your goal, but that isn't exactly a sure shot either.

Pre-offer comes after the interview. Conditional offer comes after approval by the captain review board on Friday. PRIA/background checks can still be underway at the time of conditional offer. After the conditional offer, you do the drug test. So I don't know how someone went from the interview to drug test, unless he interviewed Friday and got a rush on the board?

You can send your PRIA work back prior to the interview or bring it with you.
