I think Skywest has a great corporate culture, a proven track record as a company and a multitude of bases. Upgrade time is 4 years right now and dropping, attrition right now Is about 30 at my seniority (4 years in) and rumors I've heard at the school house point to a further drop coming.
I don't agree about the great corporate culture. We are talking about a company that owns two airlines and pits each airline's employees against each other just to suppress their wages so they make a little more profit. Also, when including work rules, retirement, and insurance, I'm not convinced that Skywest isn't anything other than average in total compensation.
