Speak for yourself... There are a lot of very stupid doctors out there as well as pilots.. Thank you for helping me prove this point.

hahahahaha. This guy actually thinks he's on the same level as a doctor. Whoo boy.

I'm not sure what career suicide means. Take what works for you. With all the aircraft coming off contract at SkyWest over the next 2 years, the EMB 120 going away, an inability to gain any new RFPs and a top heavy, expensive pilot workgroup making it difficult to compete with the leaner and more agile regionals, staying at SkyWest may well be the worse of the two choices for a new guy. If you get hired at Horizon and it gets you closer to home, go.

Speak for yourself plebe..

I'm not saying were the same as doctors. I don't care if they call me a bus driver either as long as I make my 6 figures. The point is, like being a doctor, a highly technical field where experience matters, people have to start somewhere. Worst come to worst you might actually ask for an input of the FO next to you who's taking selfies so that you actually make a good decision.

Pilots and doctors are exactly the same.

Any idea what percentage of regional airline pilots do not have a college degree?

Surely it is over 25%.

I'd say it's well over 50%.

Thanks, I just got the "career suicide" from reading through the forums about Horizon. I'm really leaning towards Horizon because I THINK the QOL will be better but I'd hate to make a decision that would cost me two or three years in the long run. With Skywest I would be based in MSP and commuting to PSC.

"Career Suicide" if you read all of these threads you will see someone spouting off about "Career Suicide" in each and everyone of them. I have flown heavy int'l and corporate, and am now coming off of a 6 year "break" and have to start at the bottom again. Go wherever fits your needs the best. Make the most of it and then move on. If you listen to all of the whiny pilots on here you will want to kill yourself.
