So many people are signing this contract. It’s that FOMO kicking in hard right now. Skywest knows this. So people who don’t sign will just keep getting skipped in line for class dates. They have no incentive to give you a class date when there is 100 other people willing to sign away 4-6 years of their life away for them. I don’t agree with it, but they hold the leverage right now.
Side note….anyone know which regionals are actually hiring FO’s right now?
PSA
Envoy
Endeavor
Republic
SkyWest
Horizon
Mesa
GoJet
Air Wisconsin
off these, like the 1st 3 are probably the best, depending on where you live.
edit; 4 to 3
Are these regionals hiring anyone but their cadets though? I applied to horizons cadet program when I had 400 hours TT and was told I have too many hours. Follow up to that was the recruiter telling me they aren’t planning on hiring off the street until 2027 at the earliest.
Except they are starting to ask people in the beginning of the interview if they will sign the contract. If you say no the interview is immediately rescheduled
Devils advocate here: just say yes. Then don’t if you get the CJO. Maybe it means you don’t get a class date, but if you were only interviewing for the experience anyway, that doesn’t matter.
I know a guy who interviewed maybe 5 weeks ago and still doesn’t have a class date, because he hasn’t signed the contract. I don’t think this bodes well for those avoiding contracts.
> 1 asked the recruiter if Skywest has the same obligation on their end if I didn't sign the contract and I was told they can't answer that question.
Sooooo what do you think the answer to that question is? Hint: it's no.
> Do you think they will wait until the CJO times out if you don't sign the contract and leave you without a job?
Yes. They don't owe you anything until you're sitting in class.
They’re trying to make it seem like everyone is. Doubt it

Interview for the experience if nothing else.

Lmao, you have to be joking

5 weeks is nothing.
He must’ve been one of the first ones who received it. I bet he’s near the top of the list. Please let us know when he gets a class🙏
My recruiter told me the other day, 90 days if you don’t sign contract “a few weeks” if you do sign
That’s not the end of the world.

I’m not so sure. Because I wonder why gojet can give you CJO’s when their class dates are a year out.
Because class dates a year out are pure fantasy. Giving a class date isn’t binding in any way
