Be sure to warn your friend going to Skywest that they will have a much much harder time going to delta, and even United if they come to Skywest. Skywest went out to their 4 partners asking them not to hire Skywest pilots. Delta is has almost stopped hiring completely and others have slowed down. Envoy can only slow you down going to American. So just think of long term goals. I regret going to Skywest and had to jump to a low cost carrier before I could get hired by a major. Super frustrating and cost me a lot of seniority.
