If you don't know what those are and how the other airlines stack up do some research. How does the airline handle block or better. Leg by leg, or some sort of daily guarantee?



Most SkyWest pilots credit significantly more hours than they block every month.

As far as bonus payments. Beyond any sort of new hire payout, there are six a year here. It's an additional several thousand to over $10K a year.

Dual class flying for DTW people will probably be a near term announcement that changes things.

You couldn't pay me $50-60k a year to deal with the type of schedules Envoy pilots are complaining about in their thread. Anytime someone offers a bonus...ask why?? There's a pilot shortage sure but Skywest hires 80-90 without offering bonuses (besides 121/135/type over 12500lbs exp bonus - $7500) .no bonus goes "you know what, lets give them 20k cos they are great people"

This is a SkyWest topic. Go to Skywest.. i came rom Envoy.. they no "shsre" the flow with the PDT/PSA ect... like UA canceled ( ok differed)there 737 order. If that was AA flow would have stoped, Envoy's upgrades stoped and so on.. there schedules did Suck. But i liked the travel priority. Im my take Envoy is to much of a risk.. especially if you want ORD..
