(Hint: any Phoenix Based MESA pilots)

why would a mesa pilot go to skywest when they can go to republic (unionized and greater growth potential) and receive a $2500 bonus to join?

Either way, both are better choices! The more people leave Ornstein's circus, the better!

As was mentioned, location.

But I thought you were a SKW new-hire? If so why don't you jump ship to CHQ and get the $2500 and better opportunities (and alpa) before you get too far up the SKW river?
