NatJet and Skywest
Anyone any idea how to get my name to the top of the pile.
Meet all the minimums but still no response. Done the www applications.
Should I go out there and knock on the door? Or who do I call?

Done the www applications.
Try ringing the companies and asking for whoever looks after pilot recruitment.
Check your web application. Make sure it is up-to-date.
Send a CV and cover letter to the General Manager Flight Operations.
Ring up and politely ask the status of your application.

National Jet is pretty secure, and they are looking at expansions (apparantly) and growing a few more in the fleet, they also have quite a few bases (more than Skywest I belive), every pilot I have met from NJ has been very happy (tired sometimes, but who isnt on some days)
Pay- No Idea
Skywest, is also a good environment to work in (but I dont know that first or even second hand, it was third hand news)... I dont know much about Skywest

Did you hear otherwise?
I herd they were expanding their fleet, and have been looked at for a few big contracts...
I take it from that, it either didnt happen, or was incorrect

These 2 companies are like chalk and cheese at the moment.
NJS- Loosing contracts, high staff turnover, unhappy pilots, poor pay and conditions, get bonded for 5 years, salary sacrafice part of endorsement, aircraft numbers decreasing etc etc.
Skywest- Getting more and more contracts (many off NJS), low staff turnover, hiring more crew (some from NJS, Alliance and others that are jumping ship), pay not bad (due for review shortly), one of the best CA's around at the moment, no bond, more aircraft arriving, continuing expansion plans, etc etc.
I know which one I would rather apply for!

IF I was looking for a guernsey on a jet I'd be looking at the fokker mob before the B717.
Been around for so long in the West it doesn't matter - apart from 1 hiccup several years ago, they're sound and secure.
Very low turn over rate among staff - and if there was any one thing to help make up your mind - that surely would have to be it. Low turn over should equal happy staff.
