I agree with Purdue.....Seattlepilot, Why are you still at a company you seem to dislike so much???

If you can make more at McD, why dont you go there?

I am honestly asking you a question. If you hate it so much, WHY are you still there????

I'll make close to 50k at SkyWest on 2nd year pay plus per diem

And that's why you should never compare just pay rates. Soft pay makes a huge difference as you can clearly see in your W2.

Still not great pay but a 10,000 plus difference is big when you are living pay check to pay check

Single, yes. Married with kids and a mortgage, no.

I'm gonna pull the BS meter here. The only way you're coming remotely close to that is by working ALL the time and constantly helping out the company. I asked a few SKW friends about your number and they laughed.

And that's topped out, at the top 20% of the list in my base.
