I agree with you. I enjoy my job as well. Could it be better? Absolutely, but it could also be much worse. I try to be part of the solution, not the problem.
To the OP, you never know what will happen in the future, so you need to plan for the worst and hope for the best (my mama always said that). Pick an airline with a base you would like to live in, has good (relatively) work rules, and the best pay you can get. That probably means Skywest for you. After talking to guys from Republic, I would not go there.
