I am sure some SkyWest pilots like their quality of life, but as a pilot, I would prefer to fly. For SkyWest pilots to say they can’t absorb 25 Ejets is a joke.
No can’t absorb 25 jets with the reserve staffing we are running.
We are fortunate to be running a healthy normal 20%
reserve staffing for normal airline ops. The fat days are gone.
