That attitude in the training department and of the new hires around me turned me off. SkyWest is the new Mesa. But the Kool Aid in Utah blinds the lifers and the squatters. A regional is a regional, SkyWest used to be one of the better ones. But things always change. And they change quickly. Skywest has fell behind the curve. I’ve found most SkyWesters Denver and West are just completely oblivious to what’s going on in the industry. Just stuck in their little 1990s bubble happy that someone is letting them fly a jet.
Good Christ, somebody finally gets it!
Now, basically the lowest pay scales (minus 10% for the block to credit bs from the published pay scale).
No time off!
No contract!
Most of training is now self taught but you get to double bunk,yea!
Most pilots fired in the industry!
What’s not to like?
