CJO on the 27th. I guess it depends on the recruiter. Some are quick at getting back, others not so much. Still waiting on a class date.

Where does it say that in the contract?

You’ll get fired if you fail. If you get fired, you don’t have to pay…. Not that I'd suggest going that route.

Apparently there is a new contract that added language to exempt you from the 80k if you fail or lose your medical. The one I got had no exceptions. I asked a recruiter at FAPA 2 weeks ago and they said a lot of people were questioning the lack of any exceptions so they clarified it.

Cadet and interviewed on the 28th - perfect interview but just received denial today, must be slowing hiring as more and more people with CJOs are starting to bite on that contract. When I chose my interview slot there were a gazillion openings available so it's looking like they are slowing interviews down, and just did mine since I was guaranteed one (cadet). Also could be the massive gap in employment because I was part of the whole Envoy debaccle, but who knows. Now I don't have to worry about the contract though, lol.

Keep your head up. I'm not sure what criteria SkyWest is using to score interviews but it sucks. An opportunity will come up somewhere

It took me two times to get the CJO, so if you want to come here, you have to do another round. good luck

Thanks for that. If I can find the newest version anywhere I'll post it...

Thank you for the kind words, and it's all good - I got the nod from Envoy this March, still in the class pool and waiting for that (was the first of the Envoy "pay for ATP/CTP wave", brutal) and hired off the street so will probably get a nod in Q1 2025, rumor mill is saying it could be earlier with zero negativity in the economy. SkyWest was #1 until that contract rolled out, so I'm not too bummed other than potentially losing out on a class date a couple months earlier. I don't have a specific major I need to go to so the AA flow is nice, along with the QOL, pay, and guaranteed EJet so it outweighs OO for me, although I live west coast so I'm missing out on some good bases but don't care if I have to move.
