This could cause some problems in getting qualified pilots AND retaining pilots they currently have. Not sure where they are going to hire the 700 more pilots they want to get with the mediocre pay they offer. One can actually qualify for FOOD Stamps at working SKYW. That is pathetic. A professional pilot on food stamps. OUCH!

Thanks for the answer to the question that was asked!!!!!!! BTW anybody that has flown in the regionals knows it dosen't matter who you work for in the first year, you should be able to qualify for food stamps.
