Hello,

I hope to get some candid feedback from some Skywest pilots. I am in my commercial flight training and would consider Skywest as my first choice of regionals. I live in SLC and would like to stay here and base here. I would also consider a base of Boise as i have a place to stay there too.

A few questions, how is life at Skywest for a new hire? How long would a new pilot be on reserve typically? Are Salt lake and Boise likely starting bases for new hire FOs?

And finally, what is a realistic annual income for a FO, the first two years? From my research it seems a lot of the other regionals are more generous in pay or bonuses....and i wonder if that is keeping some people from coming to Skywest.

Thanks for your comments.
