Both really good companies that people thought were safe around the time you were hired at SkyWest. You obviously chose SkyWest over them for a reason.

Who knows why SkyWest is sending more pilots to the jet. Maybe they are expecting some more flying on that end and haven't announced it. I truly think they will benefit leaps and bounds if a regional goes under and are ready to pick up the flying. I think that is what they are preparing for. You might get your wish but hang tight and enjoy the commute for a little longer.

Hopefully I will be the bathmat soon and I will be so grateful.
