Yep, female. And a former UAV operator; not sure whether former military or not, but if she is then that would explain it.

Hey everyone,
I just got a CJO for skywest and am trying to decide on which airplane to get. I know historically its been CRJ but that seems to be changing. I live in DEN and would eventually like to be based there if that makes a difference

Haha UAV? She got to delta this early because she was a female. Sure, she might have networked her butt off but anyone that says being a female didn't give her the biggest push in getting hired then you are delusional

Being a USAF officer, who has at least been through Initial Flight Training (IFT), is probably a big leg up.

Recency
I'd like to apply to SkyWest soon but I am worried about my recency. Any idea how much time in the last 30-60-90 days they'd like to see? I work full-time at a non-aviation job so I average 2-4 flights in a Cessna per month to keep current. I fly in a simulator often but can't log most of it unless I hire an instructor. Is this a big deal? My TT is 2,200, commercial with 121 experience, no ATP.

Awesome, thanks! It's truly a different world than 10 yrs ago, amazing to be part of a hiring boom.

Delta has shown a willingness to bend over backwards to hire 121 folks with a prior military background. Have a glance in the major forums. Frankly I think those two attributes got her the call along with whatever internal recs that she provided.
Good for her. She probably worked her butt off in active duty.
