I know the last thing ASA pilots want to think about doing is jump to SkyWest.. its a tuff emotional decision to do it. But im telling you Upgrade times are crashing to Newhires as we speeak.. soft landings lets you keep longevity, user, vac, Travel.... try it, then bail to Endeavor if you dont like what you get after 6 months... but you have a chance to Keep ATL/DTW easy.. But i get the no way in H$LL attitude.. good luck to all.
Why would anyone from ASA go to SkyWest? The only reason I could think of is maybe some of our DTW guys since it is a junior base for SkyWest. Otherwise Endeavor makes much more sense. Higher payrates, fast upgrade time and a chance at career progression through the DGI.
Right now most of the ASA pilot can't stand SkyWest as a company. I would personally go to Endeavor, PSA, or Envoy before I would ever even think about submitting an application to SkyWest.
