Travel Benefits. Skywest vs. PSA
I have CJO's from both Skywest and PSA and I'm weighing the pros and cons of both. I'm semi familiar with PSA's travel benies for myself and my kids under 24yrs. I can't find any information on what Skywest offers. Can someone enlighten me.
Thanks
Thanks

Potential for AS,DL,UA,AA.. DL kids under 19 unless they are enrolled full time school then tell 24.. I wouldn’t pick a regional based on Travel... base it of where you live and what your career goals are.. if you can avoid commuting while your kids are young. Thats a major QOL plus.

Not correct.
All CRJ pilots gets UA and DL benefits. In addition, CRJ pilots get AA benefits if they are based in ORD, DFW, PHX, and LAX.
All ERJ pilots get UA benefits. In addition, ERJ pilots get DL, if they are LGA, ORD, SLC, LAX, SFO, SEA, and BOI. ERJ pilots based in an AS hub will get AS benefits.
No matter what, everyone gets UA benefits.

Also, all pilots get Alaska benefits on SkyWest operated flights regardless of domicile or equipment.
While PSA employees get benefits equal to those of AA mainline, SkyWest pilots get a lower priority on the mainline partners but have more options. SkyWest employees who are dedicated to a specific operation get priority on SkyWest operated flights, for example you would go to the front of the list on a SkyWest operated Delta Connection flight. There are some more details that I won’t get into, such as the United vacation passes, and parents/dependents/etc.

At SkyWest I can only speak to what the benefits with Delta would look like. Delta has a million different priority codes. You would fly at S3C. So you will always fly behind mainline Delta (S3's), Endeavor (S3A's), and Retirees (S3B's)... at least on mainline flights. Within those priority groups it's based on seniority. You don't get any vacation passes or buddy passes. The non-revving on Delta would definitely be more difficult.

Also Skywest is to blame for those ASA pilots.
