But after reading the responses, I'll stick with going to Skywest. (Not that it would have been easy to change my mind.)
I wouldn't necessarily rule it out as a low-timer entry level gig. Get in, get a type or two, build some time, then get the hell out. Just understand that it doesn't sound like the career position that it once promised to be. It's the higher seniority, higher experienced guys that are probably getting pretty frustrated and disillusioned with the outfit, having gone in hoping it would be a career deal.
Try Skywest first, but if you tank the interview, you'll have a back-up plan.
