I dont work for Skyward, but I spent 3 years on the ramp until i got my shot.. I cant say that it was a waist of time cause it really wasn`t. I was able to clear all my debt and got to meet some great people. Through working on the ramp i met a guy who gave me a spot on navajo right seat and left seat flying. Since it was private did not need a check out, even though its co pilot time, I sure learned a lot from them. Now I am looking forward to some ``bigger`` stuff!
With patience and determination, anything is possible, all you have to do is stick with it!!

I don't work for skyward but those who do, and those who have worked the ramp. I can say with almost absolute authority that if you started work today in YTH on the ramp for skyward there is a 0% chance you will be flying a plane this summer. Next summer is a slightly more realistic goal. How many lurkers are waiting in YTH right now for a ramp job already?

Do any of you have a clue of what you are talking about? It seems that you all have a bit of info about Skyward and its practices but no one has all the pieces of the puzzle.
YES Skyward does have adds out for pilots.
YES they have hired outsiders.
YES they would like PPC'd guys but not one has been hired with one.
YES a bunch guys have left recently.
ETC......................
BUT let's work with the facts.
Remember they don't have to hire just because they have adds out, not everyone internally has the requirements to be upgraded. Not yet has one from the outside been hired with a PPC. As well A bunch have left recently, but don't forget they all have been there for 3-7 years.
Time for something new don't you think???????????????? No one left at the drop of a hat, all gave their proper notice like nice little boys.
Oh ya as for the ramp guys about fifteen+/- have been put on the flight line in the last 3 weeks and about 6-8 being upgraded. More to come.
So give your head a shake, how many low timers has your company hired?
Thankfully Skyward does. It's been a great opportunity here and we should be thankful that some company gave us that chance to start. Just remember where you came from.

Do you know if these 15+/- people are all from the ramp or also from different positions in the company. Just wondering , because their website says that they might hire from cargo handler, customer service representative, ramp attendant, and aircraft groomer positions. What about dispatchers?Ben Dover wrote: Oh ya as for the ramp guys about fifteen+/- have been put on the flight line in the last 3 weeks and about 6-8 being upgraded. More to come.

OFF-TOPIC QUESTION FROM AN OUTSIDER
Sorry to invade a forum that obviously has a conversation in progress, but I was not sure where else to look. I'm a recent University Grad who REALLY wants to attain a flight attendant position beginning in September, 2004. Everywhere I've looked it seems like no one is hiring. But I know there's got to be a way. I'm bilingual, very expereinced in management/sales/public speaking/etc., I'm a recent univ. grad~so I'm in my most marketable year, & I'm cute as hell! I really want this. Can anyone tell me where I should look or who I should speak to? I'd really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks, T.
