Drama much? I don’t here people blaming their troubles on Skywest either. Mainly I hear about slow operating speeds

Been living under a rock? ExpressJet Pilots complaining that Skywest ruined their company... Compass, Republic, Endeavor guys complaining that Skywest stole their flying.

Or Horizon’s extreme disdain for OO pilots, like they’re the ones making these corporate decisions that they take so personally.

I think most regional guys end up where they end up because that’s who called first. When I was 23, and applying, and everyone was yacking about which regional is worst with their anecdotal story about how they got screwed. You have no idea what to take seriously and what to take with a grain of salt. So we apply at a handful of regionals that seem okay and maybe have a base close to where we live and see what sticks to the dart board. So it’s funny when pilots bash other regional pilots when you bet they probably had an application filled out there at one point in time.

Yeah, had a QX guy years ago on an overnight was literally about to try and kick my ass. I flew a turboprop in SOCAL, had nothing to with QX flying, ever.

SkyWest is nothing but an industry under-cutter. The pure fact that their pilot group is non unionized is enough to create animosity over. Unless you live in a base they offer, there’s zero rational to fly for OO compared to others. Regionals should be treated as just stepping stones, but they are NOT all equal to each other. 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.
