Not to derail the banter, SKW is doing interviews here in town tomorrow and was thinking of attending. The problem is, my 1st class dropped to a 2nd. the end of last month and because I just found about them coming here 2 days ago and can't get in to renew to a 1st., am I wasting my time and theirs by showing up only to be turned away? Have all the other prerequisites and have actually been hitting the books and sim since getting word about this. Thanks..

Show up. We had someone in class get their medical during ground school. He let his 1st class medical expire somehow.

What this guy said. I managed to get the interviewer laughing a few times and they like that. I didn't know some of the airplane questions but still got hired. Looking forward to class next week.
Ps. I went to Skywest cause I want the quick upgrade and looking to move on quickly.

Thanks Joe, Mine expired because I had no reason to maintain a 1st. until 2 days ago. Does anyone in recruiting watch this page that may be able to add to this? Not sure how I would be able to obtain a 1st class during the interview but I guess anything is possible. Thanks..

I interviewed at Oshkosh with a 2nd class medical. Got the offer and a week later got my 1st class. Definitely show up! Good luck!

I never noticed if there was a place to print out my application. They just told me to fill it out if I hadn't already. They didn't need to see it during the interview. Same basic information was on my resume.

Don't forget that your 1st class medical has expired for 1st class privileges and is not valid for 2nd class privileges either. It down grades straight to 3rd class. But either way still interview, tell them why it lapsed and that you can easily get a 1st class renewed.
