Question Questions for Skywest Pilots

I'd appreciate some info on Skywest work rules and a couple other things, if someone who works there could oblige me. Thanks.

1. "Block or better" or just "block" pay?

2. Cancellation guarantee of some type (i.e. percentage of line guarantee, etc.)

3. What is the average line built to? Some contracts have a minimum average line, like 85 hours or something.

4. How long spent on reserve?

5. Hours needed to upgrade into captain in the EMB and the CRJ? And do you get extra credit for hours flown for Skywest?

6. Do a lot of people move on from Skywest to jetblue, southwest, etc.?

7. Bonus for volunteering on days off or going over a certain number of hours?

8. Do a lot of Skywest pilots commute? Are there a large number of commutable lines?

Thank you very much.
