Did I ever say sub standard pilots? No, I didn't. They're hiring guys that have made sub standard decisions ie 2 DUI's
If I were a SkyWest employee I'm not too sure I'd be throwing rocks in the "bad decisions" glass house considering the fairly recent and very well publicized events of last July. I don't think ANY US regional has had an incident that approaches the severity of those events.
Murder suspect and SkyWest pilot kills self after trying to steal CRJ at St. George airport.
