I have worked at both companys. Not really that much difference except for better benefits and retirement at Skywest---that is a better place to make a career. If you want 121 PIC time without having to sit right seat forever---G7 is the way to go. Otherwise, equipment, schedules and quality of life are about the same.
Partially true, upgrade is actually less then a year if you have 4500tt FW 1000 turbine and 1000 multi. So if you come over with 750TT you are going to be right seat for awhile. But i agree with you on the rest.
