I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SkyWest Airlines (Salt Lake City, UT) in May 2015
Interview
No surprises, the only thing that upset me was that they said I could do unlimited OT at my location. What they don't tell you is that you have to wait 6 months till the end of your probation before doing any OT. Also you cant get taxi qualified till after your probation is over. Also they quoted me 18 per hour, but that wasn't my base pay. Thats base, plus location, plus night shift differential. Little shady if you ask me.
