Frankly having my own room in training never concerned me. I'm more frustrated with pay. Why are our brethren at Envoy and Endeavor being paid $20k retention bonuses while we are not? How about we address that issue. New hires will flock to the AA wholly owneds now (it's already happening FYI). And lets not delude ourselves our latest classes have not been seeing the same impressive numbers as they were a few months before summer...so I've heard.

We're still averaging about 60 new hires a month. Some months were closer to the 100 mark like last winter, but it hasn't really slowed down. The only difference is two new hire classes of 30ish per month rather than one class of 60.

Hello everyone. I'm interviewing next week. If everything goes smoothly, would I expect a class date in November or December?

Because Skywest isn't a dumpster on fire , we fill classes. Why give bonuses when you can fill classes? As anyone knows a retention bonus is very unlikely to stop you from moving on, it might stop a few going to a LCC but if Delta calls 20k isn't going to stop anyone.

Well I think it's not an issue of filling classes with bodies but filling them with professionals that will benefit the SkyWest culture. I'm sure you all want to be able to attract the best out there and not actually be like other outfits, to not name names, that only check your pulse and logbook for ATP mins.

I didn't mean to imply that was currently taking place, I recently interviewed, and the other applicants were great folks. It was more of a down the road issue, probably well down the road considering SkyWest's monopoly on west coast bases.
