Mommy can't wash your clothes and cook your dinner forever millennial twits.
Maybe read a little about the pay history and all the crap that has happened in the last 10-15 years instead of coming on here and telling everyone what you deserve.

**** and pay your dues.

Skywest has always been a leader in compensation which has kept the unions away. When guys took the job at SW the last 2 or 3 years they assumed that SW would continue to maintain their top tier level of compensation. To see SW sink so badly is very sad.

There was no way SW could have taken 100 planes at that pay scale unless it was over the 5 years. You need pilots to fly them things.

What are the recruiters telling people at the road shows now? "Upgrades had fallen to 9 months but are back up to 2 years now that we got all our 175s. Now that we are stagnant or shrinking we expect the upgrades to quickly go to 5 years. Bonuses? We don't need them, we're Skywest."

2) OO has a huge staffing issue. Line pilots are fed up being forced to work 85 crappy credit hours a month. The more these people bail the company out the worse it'll be for everyone!

What's really embarrassing is you are so clueless that instead of supporting upward pressure on your own pay as a result of a nationwide retirement boom, you yell at people that they should just deal with below average pay because you had to. Does it hurt having no spine?

Epic timing.
