Upgrade is 8-9 years and not coming down unless Skywest gives us growth, which doesn't seem to be their plan.
Believe it or not, DTW is a much better commute from FL, and reserve may not be too long since we are so short on FOs. Other airlines have faster upgrade and bonuses. But we start at $40/hour and have by far the best work rules in the industry, including the majors when it comes to reserve rules and 117 compliance.
