I find it difficult to read at times people (Delta pilots) complaining about these 367ish(?) flow-thru PROMISES when we have another 4500 pilots to hire in the next ten years. (There's a slight stench of, "lack of integrity" by those who are against the promises given to these pilots years ago.)

I wish your son, currently at Skywest, the best of luck & hopefully he gets picked up soon too.

All is good. Part of all of this-- is good banter among pilots. Thanks for the wish of luck for my son. He is hoping for the best. Little frustrated at this time, but who isn't, it's been a long 13 years for everyone.

Skywest is not a bad place to be stuck while in regional purgatory! I live out west now and nonrev or jumpseat on them quite a bit. How long has he been there? He's wanting to get to Delta I presume?
