Skywest
As was said on a previous thread - Skywest are recruiting Internationally (Flight International) for Contract F100 Pilots. I'm considering applying and would appreciate any feedback from crew currently working there?

See here for current pilot agreement

Given the maximum period of employment for contract pilots is 6 months, I'm guessing they would struggle to find anyone interested?
A320's still on the way? Skywest pilots to fly them?

With Tiger CEO Tony Davis on the Board of Advent Air (Skywest's owner) I would be surprised if there are not some expansion plans for Skywest.
Advent's website seems to point towards expansion
http://www.advent.com.sg/
With the right backing, Impulse was turned into Jetstar. Why couldn't the same happen to Skywest?

I really hope that Skywest does expand for the sake of the company and everyone in it. I don't understand though why a CEO of Tiger, who is on the Board of Advent, would encourage compitition by any expansion of Skywest .

I just got a call from them asking if i was interested in coming in for an interview. Not sure what aircraft they are hiring for. Things are moving along.
What's the alternative? Don't fly the jets because there are no suitable crews? I don't think so. Be gentlemen about it and organise bypass pay or hold the DE F100 FOs there until their seniority comes up for a F50 or F100 command. Simple.

The HSC requirement is ridiculous
, you can fly big red or silver jets without a HSC, but to fly a Fokker 50 you need it .
I applied last year when they advertised in the national press, I exceeded all their hour requirements (8000+ TT, 6000 Multi, 4000 Turboprop, Check and Training), but no HSC so I never heard back.

The interview was a bit long winded too. A CRM exercise, personal interview, tech interview, sim ride, general knowledge exam, then a met/flightplanning exercise. They still wonder why people don't re apply?

Looking for both F50 and F100 pilots. Dont need F100 time for direct entry on the jet, but will need considerable turbo prop time. I would not worry too much about CRM exercise. From what I have been told not much weight is put on it.
Latest word around the airport is that XR want another 2 F50's and another 6 F100's. The latest D/E F100 F/O's did not cause a stink. Only ONE F50 F/O was pissed off, and he was not even checked to line!

what is wrong with you man
Unfortunately, high school wasn't one of them!
BTW Eastern has the same requirement. I wonder how many suitable crew who have been beating around their (EAA) area of operations and network but are 'not suitable' for want of a HSC.
