They will pretend like the MOU does not exist. Seriously. No accountability.

"Huh?"
That rule changes Feb 1st...

I guess I don't get it you're on reserve expected to work wether it's flying, TDY, or ready that's your job. It's not always fun but everyone knew this when they signed up for this job. I've spent a lot of time on reserve and better and worse companies it's always been exactly the same at each company reserve is reserve.

Are they going to PBS days off Feb 1 as well, because I thought that was the trade off?

Just out of curiosity-

What are Skywest recruiters using to sell their company to new hires?

When places like PSA, Compass and Mesa are all at a 12-18 month upgrade time.

No flame, just interested inthe perspective - I live and fly east coast so I'm not privy to being around many Skywest folks.

Thanks.

They are just using the typical SkyWest Koolaid talk. " we're are the best regional" "we are treated so well by management" "our partners love our product"

The only thing we have going for us these days is our west coast bases and the fact we are diversified and have a track record of stability.

I have heard a recruiter say at a job fair about a year ago that he wouldn't be surprised if SkyWest became the next major airline. He said that they were the most profitable regional, and the clear choice to be the next major. Not kidding....that was part of his pitch. He said that he expected that SkyWest would start branching out and doing their own flying soon.
