Skywest is mid industry average right now. Only the amount of bases is appealing to most.
No, he's right. If you look at the long term...
Short term, other regionals are paying more to attract new hires. This is fine for the un-informed, or those willing to take a calculated risk that they'll upgrade fast and not get stuck there.
But SKW is still attracting new hires, and they're either coming for the bases, or they're older folks who have been around the block a few times and either plan on staying, or want to be comfortable if they get stuck.
