Atlantic Southeast Airlines is a wholly owned subsidiary of SkyWest, Inc. and a leading member of the Delta Connection program. Under the SkyWest, Inc. umbrella, ASA and SkyWest Airlines form the world’s largest regional airline alliance.

Selection Process
Our selection process begins with the submission of a resume. We are looking for candidates with 121 experience. However, candidates without 121 experience will be considered, especially if they have advanced aircraft training or experience. Multi-engine helicopter time counts as total time after a 50 hour MEL fixed-wing requirement.
Our hiring team regularly reviews resumes and grants interviews on a competitive basis. Those meeting the above requirements are initially pre-screened. If this screening is successful, the applicant is invited for an interview then simulator evaluation. During the interview, the applicant will be questioned on judgment, general aviation knowledge, instrument procedures, weather, AIM, and all FARs. Education, training history, and employment history will be reviewed. The simulator evaluation is normally conducted in the CRJ simulator, where the applicant should demonstrate basic instrument proficiency, holding procedures, and instrument approach skills.
We recommend a review of the commercial and ATP test guides before attending the interview. In addition, “The Turbine Pilot’s Flight Manual” by Brown and Holt is a great study tool in preparation for the interview.
Candidates who have previously interviewed for pilot positions with ASA may have to wait six months before beginning the application process again. Check with the pilot recruiter for information on a quicker re-evaluation. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage workforce diversity and recognize the unique ideas and experiences of each individual. If you believe you are the best, come join our team.
