I agree. Most pilots at Skywest have never had to "pay dues" of the likes that those hired after 2006 are faced with. I have a feeling it's going to be a long ride up the seniority list. (But that horse has been sufficiently beaten, hasn't it?)
The group would do well to fight for improved work rules and pay. I fear that's as unlikely as the "one year upgrade" returning anytime soon.
