You might check the threads of those “other offers.” They may be having the same sort of problem.
A whole lot of regionals are Captain limited. Skywest has already announced mandatory upgrades of those FOs with over 1000 hours. You can’t fly a flight without a CA, and they can AT MOST fly 1000 hrs a year. Adding FOs in excess of the available CAs simply means those FOs (as a group) will be getting fewer and fewer hours delaying their ability to upgrade.
