You need to quit more than Eagle my friend.

SkyWest CA pay is higher than GoJet CA pay on the -700 every step of the way. Additionally, SKW is block-or-better, while GJ is not.
Don’t forget about all of our soft pay. Daily guarantees, 2:1 duty rig, premium pay after 12 hours of scheduled duty (1:1 for every minute), block or better, 100% cancellation pay plus all overages, 100% deadhead, performance and financial bonus which equate to more than $2500/yr for FO’s (unfortunately performance starts after yr 1 and Financial after yr 2) and around $5000/yr for CA’s, etc.
Do GoJet pilots get any of this? No and it all adds up!
