Yes, express jet captains have denied skywest pilots jumpseats for no other reason than being “SkyWest”. Pathetic? Yes!
Obviously express jet senior captains don’t understand that a regional isn’t a place to spend a career (blah blah 9-11 blah blah) instead of updating their resumes they’d rather **** and whine (and deny jumpseats) than actually work on improving their personal situation.
That being said ANYONE thinking of coming to ANY SkyWest INC company (SkyWest or ExpressJet) should be punched in the genitalia for a wake up call! Skywest is one of the lowest paid in all of the industry and express jet is being shrunk unimaginably. Endeavor, Republic and AA WO’s offer more than Skywest Inc will ever offer any pilot! West coast base 175 you say? Go to compass! You’ll make more money!
If you want min days off with no ability to adjust your schedule, for industry lowest pay welcome to SkyWest.
