We pay 38% healthcare costs? No its actually about 30%. After looking at the options and premiums at serval regionals, I prefer SkyWest healthcare choices even as degraded as it is today.

Decent holiday pay, no junior manning, 100% DH and cancelation pay, 18 and 8 pay scale, decent pay rates, performance rewards, (600 bucks this quarter), user time vs sick time, displacent pay, not being bumped out of domicile, etc. There are many aspects that are better than most. But I'm not trying to sugarcoat it. There are many weak areas that need to be fixed as were mentioned, and hopefully negotiations will improve some things. But SkyWest pay/benefits/work rules in sum arent bottom end, nor are they top end. Middle of the pack sure, just where our management has always been willing to keep it.
