Definitely Skywest. But – just be aware you may be commuting for some time, and when you do get a West Coast base, you may be on reserve for quite some time longer.

Awards still being processed but right now the most junior captain is a 02/22/2016 hire. May upgrade classes.

It's down to 10 months. We've obviously hit the wall of FOs who don't have the time to upgrade. Crazy, I never thought we would get here. That's less than 80% seniority company wide.

I'm not trolling or trying to start a ****ing contest on which airline is better, I would appreciate some solid advice.

If you had to pick a regional today, would you still choose SkyWest or would you pick a wholly owned American regional where you have a flow and almost double the pay? If not, can you tell me why you would pick SkyWest again.

I really appreciate any solid answers. As you know, choosing a regional is a big decision and I'm trying to decide what's best for my career and family.

You have to wonder how many of those awarded an upgrade actually have the time. Crazy.

If you don't have the required time, you don't get the award.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. People are still getting west coast before finishing training. We continue to hire around 100/month. We're poised well to pick up any flying other carriers can't handle, which is happening monthly.
