Also added a whole section at the end about Part Time

Can you post some more details on this? I really think allowing part time pilots is a way to help fix the pilot shortage. What part time arrangements is Skywest allowing?

Someone made this, pretty good comparison of work rules

In regards to the vacation row, what are "gold days"?

Not smart. Majors are reducing regional flying over next 4 years. For example. 2019 had 41/59% mainline versus regional flying at UA alone. By 2026 it will be 72/28%. That’s a huge drawdown. I wouldn’t want to still be here for that.

Part time will only be allowed when staffing is good enough to allow it, and the only time in the last decade that it's been good enough for that was in 2020. Plus it will go senior as hell. So honestly it won't do anything to alleviate the shortage.

This is misleading. UA mainline flying is increasing but scope is limiting the regional flying. Naturally the percentage spread is changing.

no. What YOU posted is misleading. The facts are that UA is pulling their RJ fleet down from 500 now to 160 by 2026. That is why the percentage is changing. Fact. They want the gates. Staying at any UAX Feeder is not going to bode well.
