To be honest with you, I have no clue what are the reserve rules of SkyWest. However, I do know enough about SkyWest to say that it is a straight up better company than Mesa. Like I have always said, there are very few valid reasons to come to Mesa, such as the IAH base if you live in Houston and absolutely will not commute. Or if you did try to get on with a better company, failed, but are determined to become an airline pilot.
I don't know what reserve rules you are referring to at SkyWest, but can't be much worse than reserve here. Reserve is terrible at any regional anyway you look at it.
