Oh, I agree. When I came to SkyWest, Envoy and Endeavor were burning dumpster fires and the bases at SkyWest made this place a no-brainer. If I had to make that decision all over for the base that I am in now, SkyWest would likely be choice 2 or 3. The only reason that Detroit is afloat right now is because people who want to be based out west are being funneled there. If LGA were to become our junior base and time in base at DTW increased, making duration of stay to go to ORD/MSP and all the other western bases longer, I am sure that many potential applicants would shun this place like a plague, and they cannot be faulted for that. If the base that I am in now could not be attained for a year while I could get it at Envoy right away and make $20k more first year, have a flow and have a one year upgrade as the situation truly has unfolded, why would I come here? For QOL? Everyone at my base is already getting 6 consecutive days on followed by 2 off. There is no QOL here.
