One other aspect that needs to be disclosed when talking about SkyWest hourly rates is that for all other airlines, they pay marketing block, SkyWest pays what is called "historic credit". In about 98% of the flights on your schedule you will see you are paid less than what is blocked in what is called "historic credit". The only time you get paid more is if the flight goes long for whatever reason, is if it goes over the historical credit value.

So comparing our hourly rates to other airlines really can't be done apples to apples.

I've seen some 4 day trips that have the credit over an hour less than the block, and the company has total control over what will be assigned the credit value, there is no transparency.

The very first Seattle to Kechtican flight was credited 21 minutes less than the marketing block. How do you have historical credit on a flight that has never occured?
