The reason you're getting flak is because you can glean all these answers, and more, by reading the relevant SKW threads. Which one is "best" is entirely dependent on you. Would you rather have quick seniority or longer flights? Would you rather have seniority on an airplane or move to LA as soon as possible? We can't answer these questions for you and you're going to need to learn to be more self sufficient if you want to survive in this industry. The reason a lot of airlines are able to fill classes (and thus justify not raising pay) is because people get lured in with very little research by recruiters. It's very frustrating to be on the other side, trying to convince your company they need to raise pay, when people who have done zero research are flooding classes.

Anyone who isn't at SkyWest can't answer your questions about those and posting in the general forum just makes it seem more like a broadcast of what you're doing than a question.

I just realized there was a specific Skywest section. I don’t use this forum often and it’ll probably stay that way after the replies I mostly received.

Seriously no one has said anything here that scathing to you. Try posting something stupid on the Skywest Facebook group and see how it goes over. I've seen at least one person likely tank their career, at least short term, over it. There's a lot of good advice here and you're brushing it off as "Bitter unhappy people" rather than looking into it.

We're just trying to speak a little truth. 9E, the AA WOs, republic, etc are all upping pay, finally getting close to where it should be. SkyPest voted in a lousy contract with lousy pay. That undercuts what every other pilot group is trying to accomplish. I'm sure you'll understand why we we won't shed any tears when you leave this forum. I just hope you open your eyes to see what the market is for pilots right now.
