Lmao, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t expect you to have a clue about SkyWest or it’s management, but it’s not the JV team over in St. George. Mormons don’t **** around when it comes to their money, they’ll adjust accordingly to whatever it takes to pull every single pilot to their shop. SkyWest right now hasn’t given up a damn thing to recruit more pilots and they’re pulling in all the applicants. Why do you really think AA is offering these sucker bonuses?

I’ve spent almost 5 years at that company and will be leaving here very shortly, but I’m not even remotely worried about the future of my friends at SkyWest.

Btw I read some doomsday post by you about SkyWest a few months ago, attrition has been well over 50 a month, list has grown from 5,100 to 5,600 pilots, they’ll be at 6,000+ at the end of the year just watch. They have the training capacity to push 300+ pilots a month, which alone makes them a massive asset to places like UAL, DL, and AA, plus every other major carrier in town that will need to fill right seats.

Also remember this, Delta has never hired over 1,200 pilots in a year (2016), because they can’t, don’t have the training capacity to pull it off. So when you see these “2,000 new hires for 2022” remember most these shops don’t have the training sims available for these claims.

My prediction, if the market gets bad as you claim, they’ll finally get an offer they can’t refuse and be bought out by a legacy.
