SkyWest FO here, been trying to get on with JetBlue for three years now.... I can't begin to tell you how many captains that I fly with who don't want to go to Spirit or JetBlue because they have been at SkyWest for five years or more and feel that an LCC is below them...I have lost count. It doesn't bother me though. I hope that they keep thinking like this so that people like me who want to get on have less competition.
Comair was considered bulletproof in the 1990s...gone by 2012. ASA was considered bulletproof in the 2000s...gone by 2018. I'm not saying that OO will meet the same fate but nobody knows what the future holds for regional airlines as the years progress forward, especially in 10 year's time.

I spent 10 years flying RJ’s and been at blue for a few years now. While we have some big issues here it is still light years beyond the two regionals I flew for. We have a long way to go at Jetblue but I’d rather be stuck here than topped out at $120 after 20 years with a lousy 401k contribution and an uncertain future of codeshares. I had a 28 year Comair guy in my class if that tells you anything... oh, and we have a potato farm! Good luck in your decision
