FWIW
Comparing SkyWest to Trans States is like comparing San Jose State College to UC Berkley. SkyWest is much more professional and is a much bigger operation. Since moving on is ultimately what you would like to do either one can get you to the next level. TSA is in upgrade fast mode because they got more 145's recently. They also have a furlough fast mode that happens when the opposite is true. Their operation is kmart cheap in every aspect. Not a bad way to go for fast time as long as everything holds out. SkyWest is a superior workplace in every way but upgrade is like the hot girl next to you in English class -never gonna happen... for now.
