To the OP:
skywest PBS slants heavily toward the company.
Scheduling deliberately violates reserves.
Once you make it to the line holding side there are many facets to SkyWest. 200 flying ORD is different from 7/9 lines out west.
Overall, it's not horrible. It's about as good as it needs to be for a regional and being out of LA you have PSP and LAX for options.
Compass is not a bad option either, but they'll have a comparable upgrade time by next year. They will most likely stay Junior in LAX though, so that's huge.
