SkyWest is now offering a leave of absence program for current employees. Employees can take a leave of absence and attend pilot training at a flight school training partner. The employee will attend flight school and then work as a pilot building up to 1500 hours. Once the employee reaches this milestone, they will start flying at SkyWest as a pilot and retain their original hire date for benefits. Additionally, employees will receive $12,000 in tuition reimbursement from SkyWest.
