My friends who had 1000 hours, were applying for UPS and FedEx and getting hired.

I see your logic, but getting on a seniority list anywhere you want to go would be my priority right now. Who knows what will be happening by the time a new captain gets their 1000 PIC and if things have gone that far down hill in the near future 1000 won’t be doing a heck of a lot for you with the amount of competition from other guys desperate for anything they can get.

The time to get out of SkyWest is NOW. If the music stops, being at B6/NK/F9 is better than being at SkyWest. If the music doesn't stop, you'll get hired faster from B6/NK/F9 than you will from SkyWest.
