Not many wise ones venturing to OO unless they’re in reach of one their western outstations or a millennial that’s a product of a pilot mill who knows jack squat about the airline industry and fell for the “we are the best of the best of everything” recruiting line.

OO contributes negatively to all other pilot groups by demonstrating and supporting its possible to run an airline with a labor group that kisses managements ass. Pilots that support them fall victim to their BS spewing recruiting team. The pilot groups at the majors share the same opinion as well.

stabapch, you hit the nail on the head.

skywest management SUCKS!!

chip childs destroyed two great airlines.

Just remember if chip needs to screw the skywest pilots he will.

I have nothing against the SkyWest pilots. We're all just pawns in the game.

Hate to break it to you but regionals should be treated as stepping stones in this hiring climate. And things like low reserve time, quick upgrade, good compensation, and good base selection goes a long way for somebody trying to get experience and move on. There’s a reason why SkyWest has 5000+ pilots now.

Because, for whatever reason, they don’t understand that regional airlines/FFD flying is the classic example of “don’t hate the player(s), hate the game” and that it’s macro forces (economy, etc) & mainline management teams’ decisions - not any particular regional pilot group - that ultimately pulls 99% of the strings.

Asking for a friend

It’s called the “Nickelback Factor”. Are they the absolute worst band in the history of bands? No. But what started as a movie line between Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan, has grown into a cultural phenomenon of hating something “just because”.

The fact that their music DOES suck and OO isn’t unionized, is a parallel too close to ignore, though.

Yeah pretty uncomfortable having the OO guy talk to the group of people interviewing almost in tears saying he is so proud of his company for not furloughing any pilots and he would gladly give up all of his hours to save everyone else’s job.
