I have a friend at PSA who tells me all the stories there. Yeah, no thanks, I'll stay put here.

I'm not sure when your friend was hired, but I don't have any complaints personally. Been here almost 2 years. Holding a line for almost a year now. I usually only work 12-14 days /month and I make good money and travel. Reserve sucks here, but I'm pretty sure that's everywhere.

Trips are great if you can pick your schedule with the SAP. I usually get 2 or 3 overnights at home every month and my 4 days credit anywhere from 17 to 24 hours typically (they could hardly get worse than 17 or better than 24). I've got a 5 day next month worth about 32 hours, then a 4 day and a 3 day worth another 35 hours. I work 12 days next month and I'm off the rest and I still managed 2 overnights at home. Some of the trips awarded to you on reserve suck but that's almost anywhere on reserve.
Anyway, I hope you guys see more money and contract improvements soon. It just fuels the fire for everyone else... A rising tide and all that.

Pay for established pilots at all companies needs to come up now. The race for the new hire has finally (mostly) leveled out with AMERICAN WO finally following suit.

And I have a friend who used to work at SkyWest and has told me about the crap there. Every regional (and every airline) has dirty laundry and things wouldn't be normal if pilots weren't complaining about something.

I hope pay is raised here too but that will depend on how many people our recruiting team is able to pull in...and right now it's still a lot compared with other regionals.

I feel like you feel your situation is unique. When I want to bid killer trips I too have a high number of days off. It's not a skywest thing, it's a function of senority. It would tell more if you published your relative senority for your seat.

That's great that you're faring so well at PSA, but I'm still not jumping ship for another regional just to commute and be on reserve for a whole year...all just to fly the same plane.

You guys have a lot going for you because your pay and contract are pretty good, but overall it's you diversity of domiciles that I think makes you attractive to many new hires.

Nor would I expect you to. I wouldn't in your shoes. I think SkyWest is a good company. When I was interviewed at PSA a couple years ago, I asked a couple of questions to the CP interviewing me. I asked him if he had a kid that was a pilot would he recommend them come to PSA. And I asked him what other airlines he thought were good airlines to work for in this industry. SkyWest was one of the couple he named.
