So you’re not even at Republic and you’re spewing this kind of misinformation?
What does Skywest’s market planning have to do with ORD as a base for Republic?

It’s a recruiting tool, and they can’t afford the bad press. My buddy just passed 12 years at Republic, and he is solid reserve in ORD as a captain, so I wouldn’t plan on ever upgrading into ORD.

You guys and your over dramatic absolutes. ZERO, yes, ZERO reason.

I also wouldn’t say Skywest or Air Wisconsin are bad places. I believe Skywest just voted down a descent pay increase, because they were trying to raise the bar.

The new Skywest TA was a sham. It was such a scam that despite all the brain washing and koolaid drinking, the pilot group was able to see through it and vote it down (a loss of 3 votes is like losing 80% to 20% at any other pilot group with a union and competent representation). The new TA had no new money coming from Skywest. The hourly raise came from other types of compensation that they took away from. Also, the TA didn't fix some of their glaring QOL issues like the reserve call out mess that was created by their inept Pilot representation. It came out of an agreement they penned with the company last year thinking they were fixing an issue, but Skywest saw a flaw in the agreement that allowed them to take advantage of Reserve pilots and they took FULL advantage of that. You can head over to their board to read all the deets of the mess over there.
