SkyWest is a small airline in a small industry, the ones who chose to go after others for petty issues, seem to find themselves with a rep pretty quick which seems to stick. The point is especially more significant now with an industry in crisis with furloughs etc, with no real employment options for others outside of aviation. It’s not a “victim” card, it’s about common sense and dignity to your fellow pilots.

Hold yourself to your own standard of professionalism, fly the plane to standards, don’t judge others, and be kind to each other - especially in a time when who knows what airline/co-workers will survive as you never know when you’ll run into them again.

On a side note at my legacy cargo carrier, nobody cares about uniform standards - plenty of arm tats, no ties, wrinkled shirts, and somehow we don’t crash planes.
