Is SkyWest still encouraging FO applicants to apply when they are 2 to 3 months shy of 1500 hours? I thought it was in the website before but don't see it now.
Hope to have about 1300 hours in February any idea what are my chances of getting SEA or PDX? Would the CRJ or EMB be better to get west coast?
Thanks

Starting to get close to my hours and looking at the regionals. I have always wanted Skywest, however with other regionals paying 50-60k starting its hard for me to justify going to Skywest. Is there any talks of Skywest upping their pay to compete with the others?

Supposedly we're in contract negotiations early but I wouldn't count on it. Other places have to have bonuses to fill classes for a number of different reasons, Skywest fills classes without huge payouts, why do you think that is?

I think the pay will go up.. but pay is just a small piece of the puzzle. There is a reason Mesa has to throw cash at you to join them.. SkyWest offer above average pay, quick upgrade and good base QOL.. way more important then a 20k bonus and being based in JFK commuting to SEA..

I made $40k first year at SkyWest when pay was essentially $30/hr. Pay is now $36.50 first year so your results may vary.

I fly corporate but have thought about making the switch in the next year. I know it really depends on a lot of different factors, but with pay now at $36.50/hr, what can an FO realistically expect to make? Based off the previous post, ~$46k?
