I was between Skywest and Compass. The main reason why I chose Skywest is because of base choice that will allow me to not move and live in base. If I lived in LA, I may have preferred Compass.

Wait, you mean there is more to choosing a job vs just telling people we are the highest paid? You want things like QOL and not being worked into the ground month after month? Weird. Maybe if we are smart enough to vote our pay proposal down, we can consider some of those things to attract new hires in our next "negotiations"

And just so I don't get slammed later, the first sentence was sarcasm. I know there is more to a job than just the hourly wage and I personally believe this is where SW pilots get taken advantage of year after year. Especially when I see someone on the Horizon thread say they made 55K in their 3rd year. I have never made that much at SW and I have been here a lot longer than 3 years.
Well, I can say it is possible because I've done it at OO avg 95hrs credit plus per diem. It's doable

If you value QOL I'd go Compass, I just DROPPED a 5 day trip that gives me 18 days off in May. I think that would be pretty much impossible at SkyWest right now. Getting a TBNT letter from SkyWest was the best thing that ever happened to me in this industry.

I didn't have to drop anything and still got 15 days off next month with a week straight off and 3/4 weekends off crediting a little over 90.

In all honesty go to the one that hires you first that's makes your QOL the best

Yeah, I agree. Can be looooong but if I can drop one and have 18 days off in a month I'll make the sacrifice.

Meet me for a kale smoothie next month?

bump

Compass wins in a landslide.

Anything changed that would alter the outcome since this poll was originated?
