Skywest's $3.3 billion in revenue in 2013 only resulted in $59 million profit. Do you know how quickly that would be eaten up by a couple dollar an hour raise to pilot payscales?
$59 million dollar return on $3.3billion revenue? I mean what's the point?
That's a 1.78% return on investment. Investors would be better off putting their money in a low yield CD or money market checking account with 0 risk.
