Why on earth would you work at Skywest and make 30k your first 2 years when you can make 60k at endeavor or envoy???

Assuming this bag only fits sideways in a CRJ overhead? My old Costco roller "carry-on" bag is too big, and as a newhire waiting for IOE, I've been wondering which bag I should ask Santa for. Seems that the Costco dimensions are for the internal specs, not the external - so when you actually put clothes in the bag, the dimensions are wrong for the overhead.

Would love to stay with Costco - price, durability and warranty are unmatchable.

Lots of reasons. If you live in a SkyWest base, if youhave talked to friends at all the airlines and there experiences, you want a turkey certificate every year, honesty now that were out of the horrid 90's/early 2000's.. It comes down to were do you want to live/commute too. A extra 20k would not make me commute to JFK from the west coast..

You'll make $45k more or less first year hinging upon how hard you work in the junior bases, and second and third year I'm guessing is $50k or more.... I don't know I'm about to find out.

And let's cut the bull...Envoy is a sh*ty airline that treats it's employees like cattle. Keep your flow, the whole thing is smoke and mirrors to keep you chained to a regional while everyone else without a flow will be motivated to improve their odds for a legacy by making themselves better, more well rounded candidates....

I disagree... I use my American benefits more then the other two. United is WAY overbooked on every flight and all Delta stuff goes through ATL.

BTW, you only get AA benefits after 6 months and you have to pay $75 for you and $50 for each family member.

When you see those taxes come out of those bonuses it isn't as glorious as it may seem. You can keep those 12 hour 4 days. A JFK commute is horrible and even if you do make 60k and move, how far will that go in NYC.

I'm very happy here at Skywest. Sure, I could make more money somewhere else I would be commuting for it. Even though movement has come to a halt in the base where I live I don't commute which to me is invaluable.
