Yo! Calm down! You may be a candidate for a psych exam. I keep up with pilots at SKW still and it is a fact that since I left Portland, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and other bases have closed. Now those pilots must commute. Also, I know that the Bro pilots are not getting classes as quickly as some would've liked and that new hires are getting class dates before them. The upgrade times will take longer for recently hired jet pilots while the Bro pilots filter in and many California based bro pilots will now have to commute to out of state bases. And it's rumored that Skywest has lost contracts to Trans States in Denver for United. Not sure if want to be in that mix right now. Skywest has its strong points but like many have said, regionals should be a stepping stone not a career if you ever want to make 6 figures which it cost most of us to be pilots.
