They will ask how you plan to pay your bills during training pay and first year, and if you have enough savings to cover medical expenses since you won’t have insurance for 90 days.

Probably the same answers as in the past. Even if the interviewer knows it’s BS, they’re desperate for pilots at this point.

I'm surprised we still interview and aren't like the regionals. "Oh you got a heartbeat and 1,500 hours? Come on over!"

My interview at SkyWest, a couple years back, was much more thorough than my interview here at Spirit. If anything Spirit is the one conducting the mirror fogging test these days.

Well SkyWest has always thought of themselves as an “elite” airline, and their interview process is probably a little overkill for an entry level job where 95% of the pilots plan on getting out ASAP. In the end, they are a regional flying planes for other airlines.

"Entry level" - Get over yourself!

Regionals are entry level. Sorry if that hurts your feeling. It’s entry level because it’s where people get their experience to move on. Spirit is becoming a pseudo entry level step from the regionals to a legacy, so at least I can see reality for what it is, and not think SkyWest isn’t what it is, entry level regional operator who operates legacy feed for less than legacy rates.
