SkyWest LGA contract
#11
It is difficult to understand why you would forgo Republic's $17,500 bonus, better pay scale, better per diem, and better work rules, and far better training pay to work for Skywest if you want LGA anyway, although I'll grant you, 'brickyard' seems like a silly call sign.

Envoy does... Envoy started the RTP program. If your not interested in Envoy I don’t blame you. But Rsv at home base is not the same as Rsv commuter. I’d give Envoy a second look if RTP & LGA base is your goal. LGA is very junior no matter which carrier you go with.
Help our industry out, join a unionized carrier. Don’t gut it.

I hear from lesser sources that their presence in NY is at risk due to poor performance.

All regional flying is at the whim of the codeshare partner. But why worry? Take Skywest's money and get your training and type rating. Once you have that you can move to an LGA based regional with better pay and rules. Complete whatever you are obligated by contract to do with Skywest but don't think you owe them any favors afterward. They damn sure won't do YOU any favors.

Not here to badmouth anyone, just telling what I heard. Grain of salt and all that.

I wouldn't know if I have different stats since you haven't provided a link for your own stats. Also I understand EDV has had to cover over 160 flights for other carriers last month alone. I don't know how many were Skywest, but you can see how that might affect overall performance.
