No, but very rarely does it make an impact because most days are credited 4hrs of flight time at minimum. I regularly get 18-20 days off with 80-85 credits. You want to be truthful? How about 4yrs right seat in the RJ at Skywest

The upper management on the other hand is a legitimate concern, I won't deny that to anyone.
Upgrade at SkyWest is actually around 2.5 years right now. I don't think it will stay that low, but your statement isn't accurate. Bottom line is that the thing that GoJet used to have to make itself potentially more attractive than other regionals (quick upgrade) isn't something unique to GoJet. Many airlines are now offering a quicker upgrade, better career progression, and better pay. So unless you live in a GoJet base I wouldn't even consider it. And even then I would seriously consider other regionals.
