They have no union so you have no defense if something happens. Whereas a friend of mine at Mesa had a major runway incursion the captain tried to create a lie to cover it up. She was cleared and is a captain today and loves it there. People sniff at unions until you need one. I kind of feel like neither is a great option right now. My class from 2008 at Skywest just started to upgrade last year. Commuting sucks but Trans states is hiring and opening a Denver base and has Alpa. They have a bunch of new contracts and 50+ new aircraft. Not bad, planning to triple in size. Good luck!
