Can't pay the mortgage with warm fuzzies.

Where's United on the list?

You've seen way, way too much "Married With Children."

^^^^ that's gotta be a troll because it's quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever read on here. Skywest is a whipsaw toy for united delta American and Alaska. I've worked for Skywest and now I work for Spirit. Spirit is a 10000000000 times better place to work than Skywest. That's right, spirit. Damn I took the bait.

If not, then the answer is a no-brainer.

Goggles is Delta. And FWIW, I agree with him - I'd much rather be at American than SkyWest.

And at this point, regional airlines are shrinking rapidly. Airlines are upguaging to mainline aircraft. United's 2015 fleet plan has the number of regional aircraft decreasing by 11% while mainline increases by 3%. Right now, it's post-911 in reverse. And frankly, that's a darned good thing for regional pilots because it means that they'll be moving to mainline fairly quickly. The losers in this are regional pilots who plan on staying there for a career.

I didn't even see UAL on the list. Though I think the auto parts place is placed over Delta......though I'm sure there is some mathematical formula being Delta has a zillion more employees than the airlines placed above them.

My apologies. I totally flubbed it and misread "SkyWest" as "Southwest". :mad:

Mea culpa; good points; post deleted.

I left 161--and declined offers from 18 and 19--to join 238.

I'm damn glad I did. Ymmv

I just can't believe Delta Air Lines is not at the #1 spot. Insert smiley face.

No worries. I hope that the regional guys are seeing how mainline fleet plans are changing where the plan is to shrink their regional feed and expand mainline. It will mean less jobs, but better jobs for pilots.
