$60k at Envoy to be junior manned on your days off and have a six year upgrade.... No thanks. SkyWest has far better work rules and our upgrade time on both airframes is waaaayyy faster.

With all the guys that have been hired since the hiring department opened the floodgates in late 2013...there is either gonna have to be some incredible attrition, or we're gonna have to find a lot more flying, for this less-than-2 year upgrade train to continue rolling. We've hired A LOT of people over the past 36 months; the list has grown by ~800 pilots in the past 2 years. All I'm saying is, if I were a new hire now, I would not look at our 20-month upgrade and expect I'm gonna get that.

When I interviewed in April 2014, upgrade time was 8 years. Everyone said "If you go to SKW be prepared to be an FO forever."

Sure it could. Or mainline hiring could be nowhere near as significant as projected for 2017, meaning more Skywest guys are stuck in their seats, meaning....back to 8 year upgrades for guys hired now.
Unless we win a bunch of additional flying, of course. But who from?
