I'm not going to lie to you, if I were looking for a regional operating in Chicago right after Envoy made its announcement of souped up pay last year, I would have gone there. Double the first year money plus the flow to have as a backup are a win-win. I came to SkyWest before that when Envoy seemed to be a burning dumpster fire, but things are turning around there it seems.
Then again, I feel vindicated for coming to SkyWest because we have taken over a yyyuuuge chunk of Envoy's former flying in ORD, meaning that I'm still employed and have lots of flying to do as a lineholder. So it worked out for me I guess.
