Just a couple questions: How do you guys like being non-union?

I love the CRJ, but if I were to get hired by SKW and assigned to the Brasilia, how long would I have to wait before I could switch to the CRJ?

Can anyone say if the SkyWest CRJ-700 Aspen rumor has any truth in them, and give any details?

Looking at the pay charts on APC, it looks like SkyWest is slightly above average compared to other CRJ operators (compared rates to Pinnacle, PSA, Comair, and ASA). Second year CRJ F/O rates look very nice. So far I've seen alot of people on the forums saying negative things about Mesa, Pinnacle, etc., but I haven't heard anything genuinely bad against SkyWest. It looks like a great company and they are absolutely number one on my wish list.

I flew on a SKW CRJ2 once and it was a pleasant experience. Crew was from COS.

On a more general note, can any CRJ drivers out there tell me what they think about the plane? I've found an online studyguide website and have looked through it all, plus I got a full color cockpit poster on my wall and can find my way around all the displays and switches fairly well. It looks like a fun plane.
