Thanks to everyone for all of your input. Keep it coming!

As a side note, it is not that I am not willing to put the work forth to get the job that I want cause Lord knows if I have come this far I can keep trucking to the light at the end of the tunnel. Plus all I want is to fly, I cannot tell you how anxious I am to just talk on the radios and push some buttons, but I just wanted to know if the extra work is worth the effort. Both companies seem to be in good shape financially with decent QOL, happy pilots, decent bases (Skywest better than XJet), satisfactory upgrade times and along with many other areas. With that said why do you believe, Saab2000, that Skywest is better? I would just like your personal opinion. This will be a huge step for me and I want to make sure I make the right choice. P.S. I feel my signature is much more appropriate...what do you think?!
