Yes 25% and that's not a match. That's 25% of base pay...30 years of that might leave you enough to actually retire on.
Skywest is not a privately held company. If you meant private sector, it makes more sense. Either way it sounds like you really don't want to accept the fact that skywest is not as awesome as you think. You are selling your self short by believing your near the top. Your take home pay may be, but not your over all compensation package. My last post I asked how long it takes to get the 6 percent match, but my phone added some extra text? Still have not heard an answer? Skywest IS the most efficient regional due to economies of scale, so you are entitled to a higher compensation. Do all of us a favor and ignore fox news, and imagine that helping the top 2 percent of the people in this country get richer is not in your best interest. PLEASE!
