How does Skywest expect to compete with other regionals that offer DECs full credit for all 121 experience (not just 10 years) and $100,000 in signing bonuses?
Lastly, how does vacation accrue? How much vacation does a 10 year pilot get? What's the max?
Thanks in advance!
There were a few DEC’s in my class and they chose Skywest because of the domicile options. Money isn’t everything for a lot of those DEC’s.
