Maybe. But raising pay will definitely not be a good allocation of capital - for the investors that is.

Well, I guess as long as the airplanes are moving.

Is Skw weight restricted on the SFO ..STL flight? How about return, full 76, plus jumpseat?

Likely depends on winds/weather.

Try looking at UVU aka Utah Valley University. It has an aviation online program.

I am looking over the requirement for the Restricted ATP.

Would a degree from WGU be considered toward a RATP since it is not on the FAA approved institution list?

You have to do your flight training as part of a part 141 program for a degree to help you towards RATP.

And it has to be a school approved for the RATP program, the FAA publishes a list.

Anybody have any details on the 2 or 3(?) Pipers SkyWest purchased? and the GA flight training program they are starting?

I remember a business/company name mentioned either here or on one of the Facebook groups, but for the life of me can't remember now.

Interesting that the company is keeping it under wraps

It's called Skypath Aviation. It's in the early stages but they bought 2 brand new Archers full glass cockpit and then bought a hangar next to TransPac to use. It's a zero to hero program to get new pilots all the way through and then a job at Skywest. I don't know the full details like cost and etc. it's still a very new program. I think they told us Skywest only bought the airplanes to attract students with shiny Archers lol.

I worked at TransPac all of last year and they had 8 students they said to test it out. The plan was to see how it goes and then expand it larger to different locations across the country, so we'll see. Transpac (international students) couldn't use those new Archers either it's a separate company technically. They offered instructor jobs to TransPac instructors and the syllabus was bring written for a 120 day program or something along those lines. Pretty much another ATP. As far as Skywest goes, not sure how much more they'll invest in it. It's still on the quiet side right now but I know they did kick it off in 2017.

No website or anything but you can see its trademarked already by the company who owns TransPac.
