The above mentioned stuff is all true. I lived in St. Louis and it was my first airline job, so I didn't have as bad of a time as some did. Almost everyone I flew with was good to fly with.

I would not have known any better if I didn't have SkyWest to compare it to. I currently commute from St. Louis to Fresno and would rather do that than work for Uncle H again. Commuting on Frontier, United, SkyWest and Trans States on a regular basis, it is amusing how bitter the Trans States people are compared to everyone else who is happy to fly who they fly for. You probably won't care your first year how crappy it is, but after the new jet feeling wears off, you will see why everyone is telling you stay away.

Chances of getting any future flying is slim in my opinion. You don't know if management is going to pull another brilliant unnecessary furlough. Tons of tension between pilots and the company. If you do do it, don't stay long!

Good luck!
