But again it’s all business on their end.. for each pilot that leaves you have 100’s of CFI’s hating life doing stalls that will gladly take a spot. And Skywest knows that.
Maybe that’s because pilots and perspective pilots are slowly getting smarter. Think about it, for years the saying “go with whoever calls first” was the golden nugget in this career. Now, choices exist and those that slack will have issues and have to either get with it or flounder. However, if another economic collapse happens, that will give regional management a serious hard on as they can take bonuses away and pay 20k a year to new pilots once again. I say keep riding the wave high before it crashes, but I’m no surfer. Tried it once and almost died lol
