Not sure what you're getting at with the whole "non-union, at will employment" BS. I mean I understand the words, just not how they really apply here. Union employees are "at will" employees too except that the only person who can terminate my employment for no reason is...ME! I would argue that it is YOU who need the education on unions. You should hear some of the things the XJT guys who did short "tours" at SKW after 9/11 have to say. Most got their butts back here as soon as possible.
Before I started doing some research I always thought I wanted to go to SkyWest. I learned. Now the only thing I'm still not sure about is why you guys are so arrogant...
I have NEVER met an Ex-SkyWest pilot who was disgruntle or did not like the airline and I've met many. I personally feel that you’re making up the story to strengthen your position. Why do I say that, read your postings and you'll see how big of a joke you are. Arrogant? Take a look in the mirror; it's you who are calling yourself better than us not the reverse.
This thread was meant to get ASA pilots talking about the positive future, not XJT pilot wiping out there tiny DI*KS. Get real guys, I have no beef with XJT but apparently your afraid of our 34+ years of success and profit that is obviously continuing. Yes, 34+ years of absolute success and profit, your company can’t even hold a candle to that, seeing that XJT was founded in 86 (SKW 72). If you do your research you’ll see that SKW is consistently one of the most profitable regionals. Posting Q profit that exceed XJT and that’s with out adding in ASA’s numbers.

SKW will never be like Mesa, history with Jerry has proven that.
