Im also sure that there are some bad spots but that comes with every company.
If you are looking for essentially a direct entry captain position also look at Endeavor. Like Skywest we have pilots that have been on property less than a month get awarded ATL captain positions. And unless you are carrying over 10 years of longevity you will make a lot more at Endeavor. Work rules are good and on reserve you will get 12 days off. Picked up flying is all at 150% and occasionally 200%. And for future plans we are also growing heavily.
