For the sake of clarity, Its 90 pilots total, 45 in each seat.

SeaTown, our entire PPM is built on precedence and tribal knowledge. I hate it, but learn to work within the system you were hired into. SkyWest is not a stepping stone for everyone, but it is a regional and issues like this are inherent in a company that has built its model around people moving on. If you want a seat on certain equipment, you're better off bidding the most junior base and transferring when able. Look at the awards, hundreds of guys have done just that this year. Of course they don't like it either, but SkyWest has made it very evident how this process works.

Is it fair that I woke up in a nice hotel room with a free breakfast, while millions world wide wake up with no shelter or prospects for food? No. And yet I bet they complain much less than some pilots. Every company has their way of doing things, take whatever action you can (file a PIC with SAPA) then either leave or let it go. I bet you're a nice guy, I'd happily enjoy telling ya this over a beer, but for your sake you gotta reconcile yourself to what isn't gonna change.
