They are forced to buy their own EFB.
They have to PAY for KCM.
PerDiem was like $1.40
2nd year FO pay was $29.
Captain rates are a joke.
Forget EFB notification. There was people whose only job was to come find you and make you do more flying for free.
1:30 call out.
No AQP for initial, huge washout rates.
No real cancellation pay.
SkyWest has issues, imagine the uproar if this happened here. It's truly not even a comparison.

Having been at both companies, FB speaks the truth... There is no comparison whatsoever. Things might not be as good at OO, but I'd take it any day over that hellhole YV... I will admit though that the people I worked with at YV were a lot more fun, probably cause we had to stick together against the crooked mgmt there....

Today at the ORD shuttle center, Skywest CA with a bumper sticker on the lower part of his suitcase, it read, "The few. The proud. Skywest Pilots." I wanted to barf and bust out laughing at the same time.

Quit making up weird stories, and don't let hate make you miserable. Move on, get a hobby or two, and enjoy life.

It's funny you you ALWAYS post fantastic stuff like this... Goofy stickers, numerous stories of SKW pilots saying we work at mainline, etc... Yet you never back it up. I even challenged you to call me and discuss one of these events before, yet never heard a thing.

I just figured DENpilot would be happy now, apparently working at his dream airline (Frontier). Yet he still posts as super angry guy. Just seems strange and mentally unhealthy. What do I know though!

Our CEO (management) is "crooked" as well. Let's not make him out to be a saint now.

I'd be interested to hear from some SW old-timers... How were things better back in the day? Specifics? Just curious, really.
