They will be "cheaper" because they are efficient in many different areas. Crew compensation is not one of them. SW is not the best paid, but among the best paid...

Its funny how some are always trying to make it better sounding than it really is. Stock Options, have you even been here long enough to have received the last one that was given out? The last one we received was in 07 and had a 3 year vesting period. Stock options are not adding yearly income to our pay checks.
The financial rewards use to net me an extra 4000$ a year, now I'm lucking to see 1200 before taxes. Our overall compensation has taken a HUGE hit the last three years, and if you are not mad about that you NEED your head checked.

The stock purchase plan we used to have was an awesome deal. I don't even participate anymore.
SkyWest's compensation is pretty much middle of the road as far as regionals go.

Get your time and leave for a real airline when you can. Why waste your tune trying to fix something that can't be. If you get higher pay and better bennies gojets will get more flying. Only the lifers should be mad and only at their bad decisions.

It's true the overall compensation is down (I believe PBS is mostly to blame for this) and the stock option/grant/purchase plan are not worth mentioning as compensation.

The 401K in nowhere near "the top"! Perhaps you've heard of Continental Express, the company Skywest Inc. purchased??? I believe their 401K match is more than double ours at 12 and 1/2 %....
