What have those people say to make you rethink it?

Main reason is they’re a 50 seater operation so there’s always the worry of them having to close their doors. That on top of the pay cut and other factors just has me a little indecisive right now…

This is true. And who knows how long this will take. My fear is I disregard my C5 date waiting for OO to get back to me only to get an unfavorable start date from OO several months after that point. Again who knows , I will just continue to wait patiently . I do appreciate the info though!

C5 had a pay cut? I thought they had raised rates twice this year and added retention bonuses.

I'd go to whichever airline offers you the first class date. 121 time is 121 time, no matter the logo on your paycheck....

When you add the bonuses in at C5 they actually make more than SkyWest. Those bonuses are also written into the contract.
