Hell, I'd fly an RJ at SkyWest for 22 an hour before I'd EVER set foot on RAH property....

When I interviewed, the three other applicants were currently flying for RAH and would give anything to get out.

...sometimes I think a nice, new, MEL-free, clean, spacious, and (dare I say it) shiny 175 would be rather enjoyable.
Fair enough. I must just be the proper amount of laid back for the job. The 200 and before that the Brasilia didn't really bother me. I prefer keeping my delta and American benefits over going to a newer plane.

The one place I draw the line is no APU in the 200. That's like the 7th circle of hell and if I never had to go through that again it would be too soon.

Yeah it's terrible. Had to do it once this summer and I never want to do it again. Hell, the 1-2 minutes the packs are off during engine starts is a struggle sometimes.

I'm happy to see the number apu related refusals from this past summer. Guys with heads screwed on straight.
The seat not adjusting is something I don't put up with either.

Why would you need it. You just finished saying, "why would anyone fly a crj for $30/hr when you might be able to get $40/hr from Republic." You should probably just go to Republic.

Bad move man, judging by all your previous dumb-ass posts you're going to have a real hard time getting SkyWest to hire you.
