Skywest does historically hire the higher time guys but Pinnacle loves low time and PFT guys because they don't know any better and they don't have many options when they see how crappy Pinnacle is. The only reason Pinnacle likes high time guys is because their FOs have trouble sticking around long enough to upgrade and they need bodies in the CA seat. I do have to agree with BURflyer though, go find yourself a cushy corporate job.
