They are probably addressing the flat compensation value. Going from the left seat at SkyWest to the right seat at some lcc's is a wash in compensation if they are just going to leave in a few years for a major. (That is the key). Might as well stay at Skyw, not hassle with a new job and wait for Major to call.
