What its like at Skywest
The pilots in this surprisingly look pretty happy even after pay disaster. They even have enough time on the turnaround to grab coffee.

Someone spiked the Kool Aid...
Why didn’t they show you the high quality crash pads you’ll barely be able to afford or your schedule as a commuting pilot? This video may be inspiring to a few but here’s a secret, that is what it’s like everywhere. The views don’t change out of the window and most if not all regionals now have those super high tech iPads.

These forums replies crack me up. You really have some disgruntled employees who have a choice.. go work for McDonald’s.. why sit on any site and bad mouth a company sooooo bad.. makes no sense but it’s comedy to hear it haha...
Why not show the small bag of peanuts we get.. or the wack tacky Inn ... or my real attitude..
Choices my friend

If you are going to look at company produced propaganda you ought to look at the competition as well:

Strangely enough, none of these promotional videos say that their regional management is run by cheapskates who underpay you and provide marginal guaranteed QOL.
Heck, you can even find videos promoting the virtues (?) of Mesa:

I get what you’re saying though, all regionals have their good and bad, I don’t deny that. It is all about weighing the good with the bad in your personal choice. It just kind of makes me mad when they have to glamorize this job with their cheesy videos, greeting cards and lanyards to entice you into their airline. Why not offer an actual pay raise like other regionals instead of a bunch of propaganda?

It’s business my friend. I was really surprised that his TA didn’t pass because of the low pay while others are paying out way more. It looks like desperation on Skywest end. The fancy video to lure you in. Their name still carries a lot of weight and respect. They are on a fragile line of losing it.
But again it’s all business on their end.. for each pilot that leaves you have 100’s of CFI’s hating life doing stalls that will gladly take a spot. And Skywest knows that.
