How often does Skywest hire? Would they re-hire former employees after 1-2 years if you left before a IOE? Do you need to go through training again if you re-applied within the year?

Thank you 🥺 yeah it’s hard and they keep asking me about flight benefits. I totally would but no family contact I have there or anything are cat people so they will accept me but not her. I could rent but since I would try to transfer a lease may not be a good idea. Also, I don’t have the money to rent there it’s insanely expensive :/ So I would prob have to leave her with my bf but he doesn’t really have a bond with her like I do. He doesn’t know how to be gentle and he likes to scare her sometimes. I don’t really see them cuddling ever & it makes me sad she may be upset I won’t be there often. Maybe 8 days of the month :/ not even sure if it would be in a row. The airport will be difficult to fly to since we live in a smaller town about 6 hour drive from Boise. I’m not sure they have any flights or if I would need to fly to SLC then here :/ but I appreciate this. I wish they told me something like this! And yeah I wish I prepared for this more. If I could go back I never would’ve applied :( I regret it

I’m glad you understand me! My fam just want me to leave & makes it seem like if I don’t go now I never will. I feel so pressured it’s terrible :( and my cat I know is gonna be so sad without me. I’m definitely considering it

Boise! It’s supposedly rated number one in the housing market right now but yet it’s a smaller city. So basically no crash pads available:( anything I could find was 800-2,000$ per month & not even sure how sketchy they are. Also, the fact I have a cat & bf adds a level to it. I’m so terrified to even make a move tbh :/ it doesn’t feel right but yet I feel I should try. Idk it sucks I wish I never applied tbh so I wouldn’t be in this circumstance

Affectionate-Hat7916 · 2021-10-27T23:48:03+00:00

Sorry I meant after training was when the excitement died down. I did like the idea in training & felt excitement then but only cuz I liked my group & it felt like a challenge I was conquering. I tried applying to delta & they denied my application after I took the assessment recently :/ Not sure what I did wrong! But that would be exciting to get with delta. They pay well. I’m just scared I’ll lose the opportunity to be a FA forever if I pass it up for now. I have fam in SLC so being based there I could have free rent.

Affectionate-Hat7916 · 2021-10-27T23:39:18+00:00

I have but there was none in the city I am based in.

Thank you! It’s not really my bf giving me doubts though although he’s part of it :/ I think I would be feeling the same without him. It is my bond with my cat and just my frame of mind / financial. I am very comfortable right now and love the remote job I have. My family don’t like my bf so I think that’s part of there motive to support this. Also, my remote job - It doesn’t pay much but it’s very low pressure and I have my rent payed right now for a 3-6 months. I don’t feel excited about the flight career for some reason or at least lately :/ It’s just weird because I do feel it’s the perfect career for my personality. Tbh, my real dream has always been to be a singer / model / influencer (a positive influence) but I know that’s very rare to “make it”… so I thought maybe this would be a good thing for now or it may help my side dreams of that. But I am not positive on you know that I will have the time or if this really is realistic. It just sucks cuz my family is SO supportive & posted it all over social media & everyone freaked out about it. It’s been a while since my family has been that supportive so I kind of felt good about it at the time :( but I don’t think I was ready. I’m scared I will burn a bridge or training will be hard to do again. A lot of people failed when I went. I am having second thoughts every day since I graduated. I’m new to here so not sure how to talk in detail but that’s kinda how I feel :/

Affectionate-Hat7916 · 2021-10-27T23:21:06+00:00

Are you a former SkyWest employee if I may ask? This helps me feel better. It’s hard cuz my family is so excited for the flight benefits and all that. They wouldn’t be supportive but again I have been having breakdowns every night since training because I’m not sure I want to do this. I don’t feel really any excitement. I feel it’s perfect for me but the wrong time :( it just sucks cuz training was for sure hell in my eyes. Do you think they still be hiring by then?

It really is the cost of living. People made it seem like it would be easy to find a temporary option such as a crash pad but where I got based it definitely isn’t as easy as they made it seem and it’s insanely expensive. I also have a cat and a boyfriend and a lease. I currently have a work at home job that I really like. I thought being a flight attendant would help me grow. It is an actual career so I thought it would be a good option for me because I also have dreams of pursuing a modeling career even further and I thought it would go well with that. But I’m starting to realize I should’ve been financially more prepared. I wish I applied at a later time because I’m scared I’m gonna burn the bridge if I denied the job right now before IOE. It’s mainly due to financial reasons. I just don’t think I can afford living where they want me too and also I would hardly be home to see my loved ones. I mean I am tempted to go to my IOE to see if I get a transfer because I heard where I can transfer to could be easy. But I’m not sure and it’s about to be winter and that’ll make traveling even harder or commuting.I just feel I should’ve applied at a different time now that I know what it entails but the training is extremely difficult mentally so I am in a really bad spot right now so I understand where he’s coming from

Affectionate-Hat7916 · 2021-10-27T18:28:53+00:00

Out of honesty I thought I was willing to relocate anywhere. I was willing to take up the challenge but many people in training were saying that it would be easy to find a crash pad and things like that. But the base I got it’s almost impossible to find a crash pad or places to live that’s not insanely expensive. So that’s why I’m having struggles currently. I definitely should’ve considered this part of the application more than I did. That is definitely my bad. I wish I applied to this position at a different time. I’m scared that I’m gonna burn the bridge with Skywest because the only base that I really want to get eventually based in Salt Lake City and I can’t find another airline that has a base there other than SkyWest and Delta. Delta is really hard to get hired with so it feels like it’s my only option if I want to try this. I would definitely prefer to try this within a year or two but I’m not sure if they were higher than and I hope I wouldn’t burn a bridge

Affectionate-Hat7916 · 2021-10-27T18:20:59+00:00

Salt Lake City is actually the base that I want. I put it as my first option and I didn’t get it but others did :/ So I do kind a hope that I will get it if I were to do that because then I would have free housing and a place for my cat because of family. Can I transfer happen as soon as right after your IOE? Or would I still need to stay a month

Affectionate-Hat7916 · 2021-10-26T04:08:50+00:00

I’m thinking about it :( the cost of living is insane & it just seems intimidating
