But if I have to choose, then no more Skywest for me.
Kinda tired of getting type ratings though lol.

Will it be the best for me long term? Go figure. But short-term, I'll be able to pay my bills.
Other choice would be to stay here at Skywest, don't get paid until all training required is done, and maybe get furloughed.

Uncertainty sucks!. Getting furloughed sucks, but if you know what is going on, you can make well informed decisions, but if you don't know then....oh well.
Skywest management is smart, that we know. Maybe they did the math and thought they'd rather lose a money short term but have enough trained pilots to surf the wave, whenever that wave comes? Go figure.
