No kidding, man. Over and over again, over the past few years, I've just had to shake my head at what comes across as pure arrogance from so many Skywest pilots who frequent this, and other forums.

So, occasionally, some pilot will come on here and wonder out loud, maybe with some well understood frustration (as I'm sure most, if not all of you would if you were in the same situation) why he or she may have been turned down, when their qualifications are obviously well above minimums, usually with prior 121 time. Immediately, some of you guys jump all over the pilot's character and condemn him or her for their suppposedly bad attitude, as if any of you have any clue why any of these pilots may have REALLY been turned down.

So quick to pile onto the condemnation bandwagon, so many of you Skywest pilots are (and have been for some years now). You know nothing of these pilots and yet you'll quickly come to some far reaching conclusion about their character and how awful they must be to be around, simply armed with one or two posts on some internet forum.

It must be amazing to be as awesome as some of you seem to think you all are.

For years I've noticed this about those who represent the Skywest pilot group in these forums. So many of you folks just come off time and again as being supremely arrogant.

I'm guessing (hoping) that you folks represent the actual minority of pilots who fly for Skywest, as the three guys I know who fly for your airline are great guys who simply roll their eyes and laugh when I occasionally tell them about the tone of so many of your posts.

I'm going to finish up by saying that, in terms of attitude, you folks are the ones who will need to learn to check that at the door, or your mainline interviews will probably end in disappointment.
