See my first post.
10 days off min, 15-16 typical, 17-18 possible depending on your domicile and bidding preference. Max days off does not really seem to go senior, cuz you have to take a light flying schedule & less money naturally.
Guarantee is 75, lineholders normally fly 80-85, credit 100 unless you use PBS to minimize your schedule.
I don't think not having a union is a particular advantage or disadvantage but it certainly doesn't hurt anything at SKW. Alpa didn't anything of value at my last job (well they collect dues in a very reliable manner) If management doesn't keep our overall compensation and QOL high, then we'll get the union...
Several other regionals are at the top of the spectrum, probably better than SKW, but SKW has the best geography for me, which is why I'm there. If you want to live on the east coast I might recommend XJet or AWAC.
