Oh those poor non union SkyWest guys. My heart bleeds for them. All the instructors I know at several airlines and an air line say that they dislike the SkyWest pilots because they are arrogant and struggle in training with "but back at SkyWest we..." and get to the cockpit with 3.5 stripes.

I say good on them for hiring within the fAAmily. The WO guys bust their asses every day down in the sAAlt mines and deserve their reward. I've worked in those mines and we didn't get crap to show for it. So good on them.
