I hear SKW is a great company and all - but in the state of the industry why go to the bottom of the totem pole at a regional just because you aren't happy and face a 6-7 year upgrade??
Home Depot pays $10-$25 an hour and it's home based...

There were a lot of folks hired 2004-2007...after that, not so many. Upgrade times should drop significantly IF (and only if) they can maintain the current fleet size.
