This is a good and stable company yet,; I am loving OO thus far and recommend it above other regionals, but I've been here since January and I'm already looking at LCCs. The writing is on the wall if all the projected hiring pans out. If upgrade times rise higher than three years...I'm definitely out.
I agree there won't be regionals that survive through this pilot shortage.. SKW runs 5 classes a mont now 2 CRJ, 2 ERJ, 1 CPT. The one that impressed me was the CPT. It had 31 in it!! Its usually 6-8 people..
