2023 Update: The hiring process has changed. I recently applied and this is the process now: *Application (was not asked for documents) *Phone interview *Video interview (or face to face if you’re in the area) *Final Phone interview (my current step)
So happy for you Michael. What an awesome opportunity to have followed a small portion of this journey you’ve been on and looking forward to your continued success. I wish you much success and happiness along the way.
@@MichaelHsu95 hi subscribed. Right now I’m a aerial survey pilot, flying primarily throughout the western deserts and mountains. My TT 1466.1. I’m looking into applying to SkyWest and a couple other companies. My goal is to start with the Regionals and after two years of experience, decide if I want to apply to the Majors. Cheers!
@@bronsonmacdonald8471 that’s awesome to hear. Have you applied to skywest yet? And are you in the skywest cadet pathway? I would highly recommend joining. It only takes 5 min
Being in the pathway program is amazing. It will really help a ton when you are training. Keep grinding, you got this. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! And be sure to subscribe, would appreciate it!
Your at Skywest, I have a Bachelors degree in Aviation mgnt, and continuing my private pilot. If I qualify for the R-ATP 1000 does the Skywest only want a CFI applicant or say a survey pilot job, that built hours towards 1000 hours, to apply to SkyWest
Thank you so much for watching. I applied when I had 1000 hours. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it. Feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions!
Hey Michael. Would you have time for a couple quick questions? Wondering how you are liking the job. I recently passed my direct entry captain interview and am waiting for the offer.
Hello! I just got my job offer a couple days ago and I'm super excited. Something I can't find online but I'd like to know for planning purposes. What is the time line from beginning ATP to the first paycheck and activation of insurance? Training has been rough on me and my family, but I'm glad I got through. I hope you don't mind me asking.
Hey hey!! Not too sure. I think you get insurance once you start indoc, but not 100% sure. I’m sure you can email skywest as they will have a much better answer than me
When I applied I only had 1000 hours, so I still need to get my hours. And I didn’t want to start in December since I want to spend the holidays with family.
Have you get a chance of interview at american airlines? And what is your opinion to become pilot at Europe because you can get job after completion of your training program it is not essential to get 1500 hour experience??
@@MichaelHsu95 thanks a ton! I just subscribed. Currently finishing up commercial with the AA Cadet program out of MYF. Trying to figure out a timeline. Appreciate your vids
2:50 They wanted your radiotelephone operator license? I thought that was a license attached to an aircraft. Wow. I've learned something today; I'll have to look that up! Thanks!
If it’s SkyWest he should hear back on there page that are having an group interview look to see what date they are in your state and he can go and tell them he applied online already
Hi Micheal! I’m currently a sophomore in high school but my main dream is to be a pilot in American Airlines! My plan is to go through ATP flight school and be an instructor after at ATP. My question was on how many hours I should apply to a regional airline. Thanks!
Horrible plan, you will spend tens of thousands and their education is garbage. Try looking for a smaller school that doesn’t advertise as much. For what it’s worth Gofly in Miami is pretty good
@@carlosizquierdo1939thanks for the advice. Yea I looked more into ATP and found out they were not as advertised. Currently doing my PPL in Top Flight Aviation and planning on doing rest of my licenses at Embry Riddle Daytona 😁
@@stax7977 very happy to hear you didn’t fall into the jaws of ATP. Pretty much anyone outside it in the aviation industry openly mocks them. Have fun and safe flying!!

Were you in the pathway program too? I thought, that since Michael was in the pathway program, he just needed to take the final interview.
Thanks for the update!
So happy for you Michael. What an awesome opportunity to have followed a small portion of this journey you’ve been on and looking forward to your continued success. I wish you much success and happiness along the way.
Thank you so much for following me on this journey, I really appreciate it! Can’t wait for what is to come
You seem like a very likable guy. And yeah, waiting 10 days after an interview to find out if you got it would drive me crazy too!
Would really love for you to make a video going over the questions. Waiting for an interview slot for skywest so any bit helps. Congrats 🍾🎉
What a dream come true! Congratulations Michael!!! I’m looking forward to the next video!
Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to start! 😊

They don’t care how you get your hours as long as you meet the requirements! Hope this was helpful
Congrats brotha
Michael, thank you for the video, great info! Did you wait till you had all your hours or apply a couple hundred short?
Thanks!

Congratulations!
What is the SkyWest interview prep session? Is this something SkyWest is offering?
They are only offering it to their cadets
Dude so pumped for you! Congrats. Although I’m bummed that skywest doesn’t service DC.
Thank you!!! Don’t worry, I have flight benefits. I’ll have to come visit
Hey Michael. Would you have time for a couple quick questions? Wondering how you are liking the job. I recently passed my direct entry captain interview and am waiting for the offer.
Hey!! Yes you can message me on instagram @michaelhsu95
I absolutely love it, skywest is an awesome place to work!
I'm in the pilot pathway program... Aka a cadet are we int he same program as well... I'm waiting tonight for my Orientation
hello
Big congrats to you. I wish you success 🙌🏽
Thank you soo much!
Please make a interview video for skywest!
Why did you choose Skywest? Was there something that made you chose them compared to the other regional airlines?
Congrats. Dose the AA Cadet program or any other airline sponsor programs guarantee interview if you complete the programs ?
Hey do you have a video of how your pilot pathway program process went ?
congratulations!
Thank you!!!
Good info... good luck
hello, I tried to find this prep session you mentioned...can you send me a link please? tks
Sorry for late reply. Are you apart of skywest cadet pathway program?
Is the prep session another video session like the interview itself?
Why did you not work for an American carrier?
Want to live in west coast 🔥

Why the long delay from a job offer in August to training in January? I thought classes began every 2 weeks?
When I applied I only had 1000 hours, so I still need to get my hours. And I didn’t want to start in December since I want to spend the holidays with family.
So happy for you and you are starting on my birthday 🎉😀
Thank you soo much, I can’t wait to start. Happy very early birthday 🎉
Than you bro love from India
for me it was the next day after my application. Does anyone know if its difficult to get accepted or of they accept averyon?
They don’t accept everyone. I know of people that have been denied
Michael! Interview gauge please!!
Will definitely be coming!!!
@@MichaelHsu95 i sent you an email earlier this morning
Hey Michael, what does the pilot uniform look like? Are pilots allowed to wear long sleeve button down shirts?
Hey! I’m not too sure as I haven’t started yet, but I will definitely make a video about the uniform. I believe they slow button down shirts
Have you get a chance of interview at american airlines? And what is your opinion to become pilot at Europe because you can get job after completion of your training program it is not essential to get 1500 hour experience??
How to record a video for them?
How long were you a CFI for before getting to skywest?
Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. 14 months. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions
@@MichaelHsu95 thanks a ton! I just subscribed. Currently finishing up commercial with the AA Cadet program out of MYF. Trying to figure out a timeline. Appreciate your vids
Do you remember who you interviewed with?
2:50 They wanted your radiotelephone operator license? I thought that was a license attached to an aircraft. Wow. I've learned something today; I'll have to look that up! Thanks!
All it is is a $35 tax.
Congrats! How many hours did you have before you began the application process?
Thank you so much!! I applied around 1000 hours. Will you be applying soon?
@@MichaelHsu95 still working on my CFI!
@@hemery1261 you got this 🔥
thank you!
My husband’s application has been in for MONTHS. Like 5 months and no word, ever. 😑
If it’s SkyWest he should hear back on there page that are having an group interview look to see what date they are in your state and he can go and tell them he applied online already

Let's go!
Whats wrong with American airline？
Adds are getting out of hand
Maybe I’ll become a pilot it’s time
Right now is the best time to become a pilot!
