My question was more out of curiosity. I experienced first hand how Skywest/Mesa management operates when they hold the hammer. For the record I enjoyed some of my time at the regionals. Other times not so much, but that had little to do with the players and more so the game. Fly safe.

There is also the requirement that they are hired at second year pay (not longevity), and that all 76 seaters have to be reconfigured to 70 seats for the duration of the United furlough. It’s not an investment, it’s a penalty to make furlough less attractive to United.
The 2 UA furloughees in my class didn’t end up even spending a year at SkyWest before they were recalled back to UAL. They were offered 2nd year pay (a modest $36/hr at the time) but hey it was flying job that would knock a couple years worth of rust off so I can understand why they came to SKW even if for a short lived career here.

Let me be clear: I hope everyone, everywhere, keeps the jobs they have, and that furloughs are avoided. We're all line pilots; we're all in this together. But I'm tired of the constant stream of condescension directed at regional pilots by some of the mainline guys on this forum. According to them, we're the home of "misfits," "guys with DUIs," "guys with felonies," "losers who would never pass our interviews," and so on. All of this is just misguided, ridiculous, and frankly offensive commentary.
I'm sure that if a flowback happens, that 99 out of 100 flowback guys will be great to fly with. Maybe it's just the 1% that frequent this forum. I'm just not looking forward to flying with that guy.

Remember Mesa management is former SkyWest management....
