I'm not a kool aid drinker by any means, and a regional is after a regional. But like you, I've been around the block a bit before coming to SkyWest. I was actually VERY pessimistic about coming here, and from the start was just looking for an excuse to quit and go back to my former life of corporate or charter. But since the beginning, I've been treated with respect and have always been very impressed with the training.
The pay could always be better, but after first year pay, if you're a lineholder on the jet it's not bad. My take home pay has been significantly better than I ever planned on. I definitely want to move on from here ASAP, but at this point it would only be for a career position... A major, certain legacies, or a very good corporate job. Most charter and even a lot of corporate jobs would be a step backwards considering the combination of of pay and QOL I have here in my third year at SkyWest.
