Surely you're not advocating a one-size-fits-all approach for everyone?
You can say the same thing for rich kids where mommy and daddy helps them pay rent or feeds them while they go fly shiny jets and tell their friends they’re a pilot. The point is, no matter your situation take a look at the industry and realize going to SkyWest right now is aiding the bottom rung of the industry. It may work for you, but why accept that knowing there are far better offers out there. It is similar to the guy that has 25k in pocket so he spends 24k on a sh*tcar with nice wheels and window tint because he justifies it by having the money.
