Can anyone help?

There is no flow at Skywest. Everyman for himself, although many FOs are escaping after a few years to the second tier airlines such as spirit, JetBlue, Atlas, Alaska and so on. Employment prospects are good. If you can fly and have the hours, they will hire you. Lifestyle... not great for a few years and then it slowly gets better when you get into the top seniority of your base and aircraft. Could be 10+ years, which is why everyone strives to get out.
