I've worked 135 charter and corporate 91 (jet). I'm going on 3 years at SkyWest. Best QOL job I've ever had, including when I used to be an 8-5 engineer slave at a desk.
Yes, I used to make money, and I think I deserve more. I voted NO on our last vote. But still, I'm happy here and enjoy it. I can't imagine working at some dump like the bottom regionals. You might get a huge jump on TPIC and be at United before me. Cool, whatever. I'll be making fresh turns at Breckenridge and A-basin all this week, so I could really care less. Have fun with chasing the upgrade!
