ASA is not the picnic it used to be, and that's why the minimums have gotten so low. But if you've got 500 hours, it beats Great Lakes, I guess.

Just be prepared to be treated like crap and worked to death with no gratitude and little pay. The planes carry tons of deferrals (because management is running this place on a shoestring budget and won't splurge on maintenance) and the ground workers still don't want to do their jobs. The trips and lines are ridiculous, with the average line almost 90 hours on 4 day trips. Oh and we may strike or be stapled to the bottom of the Skywest list when they pull the plug on us someday soon. Good times!
