I am assuming he was under his probationary year and the company got upset that they spent all this money on his type rating for him to leave to SkyWest and therefore decided to screw him and his record? I believe firing goes on your aviation record as opposed to resigning, right?

If this is true...that's f-ing evil.

Yup they wanted to screw him and send a warning to any other pilots contemplating making a latteral move (during the stagnation). It wouldn't be on an aviation record like PRIA to my knowledge, but it would definitely make any subsequent interviews difficult. Fortunately ALPA had the firing overturned.

I'd avoid another latteral move to a regional (one latteral move is ok, multiple looks bad), you should try Spirit and Allegiant if you are living in Vegas. Or do an ACMI that will buy you tickets to and from home to your domicile. Kalitta does not charge imputed income, Atlas does, but either way they buy you a ticket...no space available/jumpseating to worry about.
what was the alleged grounds for termination. That seems like a very shortsighted thing for the company to do that could bite them on the butt.

As always there are three sides to every story...

Once I bumped a SkyWest guy. Apparently it's a relic of the days when Compass was Delta exclusive. At least that's what a gate agent said at the time, it was almost a year ago.

Nothing beats getting left behind on our own metal because there are only first class seats available and AA buddy pass riders (eligible for first class) get on instead. Oh well,we ended up getting on Southwest a few hours later.

Whenever some one claims some got terminated for x ridiculous reason I am immediately dubious.
