I find there is a significant amount of information posted here that differs from what I have experienced and have wondered from time to time if the SkyWest I work at is in fact different than the one that gets written about on here. I wouldn't want to work at the one described on here based on what I've read - I'm glad I don't.
Regarding ATL, I've flown with several people there who really liked it. Several from my new hire class went there right out of training last year; perhaps they can share their perspective.
