have to agree with you there. pinnacle has tons of issues but if i were to leave i should have done it a long time ago when the regionals were dying for pilots. i wouldn't want to be at the bottom of any seniority list right now. not even at skywest.

skywest would still be a lateral move from tsa or mesa. a regional is a regional is a regional. sure his quality of life will improve greatly but if he wanted to make skywest his end all career he probably would have gone there in the first place instead of moving out east. he will still start as an fo, all over again making 19 bucks an hour to fly the bro. and like other guys from skywest on here have said he would be on reserve for a very long time. at least till they start to hire more people again, which they aren't doing. they are putting people in the pool right now. so the guy on the bottom of the list will be there for the duration.
