But please tell us by what criteria YOU use to value Skywest above the competition?

I think there is a lot of irony in this conversation. We see what SkyWest did to XJT to grow, once the largest and most respected regionals for years. Noone stays on top forever, I think SkyWest expanded too fast for the current market, the industry is too competative right now, and SkyWest pilots are wising up. They will go the way of XJT sooner than later in my opinion. At least XJT has the CPP and future with United, what does SkyWest have?

You can't deny we are the lowest paid, worst reserve policies, and terrible schedules.
In many respects, Mesa is better.
