In second place we have your : SKYWEST,
AMR ahead of skywest in the employee-******ing department?
Mandatory junior manning is common at Eagle and is getting worse (I hear) with the attrition problem over the last year. They don't pay you for ready reserve time (if I remember correctly) and only half credit for deadheads. They make you pay to non-rev for five years. Pay is comparable (worse in some cases, better in some cases) than Skywest, but quality of life is *much* worse at Eagle. Just ask any of the dozens of Eagle pilots at skywest now (and no, it wasn't just about chasing an upgrade).
There's definately things I'd like to see change at Skywest, but the level of screwing that goes on here relative to at Eagle is miniscule. I'm not afraid to pick up my phone, I'm not paying $150 a month to commute, I'm not getting paid 75hrs a month for flying 70 and sitting another 30 of ready reserve.
