Because they're all too high on their own supply to know any better.
SkyWest is a good company for a regional. I never try to sell anyone on it. Look at the facts, not current upgrade and reserve times because they mean boo to a guy looking to get hired.

Your troll game is strong as always FB but you know as well as I do that pilots are commodities. I can't predict the future. But I can tell you official attrition numbers just came out and it's even better than I thought... 35 so far this year, and it's only Feb 19th. Again, 600 active pilots. I'm not promising an 18 month upgrade, but is it going to be faster than Skywest? Absolutely yes it is... and the math sure works out pretty decently close /if things stay the same/ as I said.
But you really think we're positioned to lose flying as one of the cheapest operators of an extremely in demand jet? I highly doubt that. DL would like to give us MORE flying. AA stuff... we are doing so well with it and we're cheap enough that the economics state it'll stay around, plus who the hell is gonna be able to staff it? Envoy? you must be joking... not on that concessionary contract. Even if it did go away, regional pilots aren't so cheap or easy to find these days, so that's a commodity. And we are basically a staffing agency, we don't own the planes or the gas or the engines. We just have pilots.. which have value. I'm not selling anybody down the river, I'm just backing up the math. 14 in jan and 22 so far this month. Granted some are FOs, but the CA attrition alone is high enough that with the size of the pilot group movement is gonna continue to be quick. That's not a pyramid scheme, you can do the math the same as I can.

Just to be clear a lot of people have been bypassed.
Separelty it's pretty clear that Facebiter resents anyone (millennials mostly) that has seen rapid advancement in this industry. Don't let it get to you. A lot of guys feel this way they just don't say it.

How is it to commute out of major hubs like DFW when you work for Compass? (LAX is probably the most likely base as a junior pilot?)

4 direct flights a day on company metal from DFW to LAX. 3 jumpseats on the plane and you can reserve the jumpseat in advance. Almost always had first class open when I've commuted on this flights. About as easy as it gets, if a long flight.
