Id take the 175 and get the mainline experience while sitting at home collecting money for nothing. Then as the crj fleet gets gutted when UA and DL take the flying away from us, you won't have to go through another training session assuming you are still needed.

Skywest just hit the 4000 pilot mark. Hopefully they will add a few more tomorrow before it goes down again. Good things are coming.

Sorry, I don't think they will furlough soon but with almost 100 airplanes coming to United alone to replace up to 50 percent of regional flying, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the future and how it will start To Hurt regional airlines soon. The koolaid will run dry, the unicorns will die off and reality will bite the lifers when the regional world gets slammed with RJs sent to the desert.

I thought you were going to drink more koolaid and toe the company line.
Skywest has never furloughed pilots. If and when Skywest shrinks, they would just stop hiring most likely.

It didn't make monetary sense to furlough and that's why they didn't furlough. It wasn't because they cared about the pilots well being.

OTOH, This doesn't mean the skies are about to begin falling at SkyWest as you continuously allude to in your posts.

They have also never had one of their biggest partners come to them and say "hey, just a heads up, but in a few years we will be taking our flying back". Unchartered territory lies ahead.

I actually agree with you that UA is trying to greatly reduce their reliance on regional feed, which includes OO as is evident in the fact that our 700s aren't getting renewed. This means greater opportunities for much higher paying jobs at mainline carriers, which is a good thing overall for the profession.
