Its sad to see that Skywest pilots have become just another bunch of self entitled keyboard tough guys like the rest. They used to have class. Now all I see out on line and on the web are "I'm too cool for this" while they think they will be at a major in 5 years. Far from it. It's still a regional. A commuter. Nothing to brag about.

That's because you are a CA now and are flying with newbies IMO. Guess they will figure out though on their own too. They one I can get past is guys without bachelors saying the majors will be so desperate that they will be picked up.

It's pretty rare I witness this but then again if that's true that's sad. Hope you set them right man, because that makes us all look bad.

This is a type of post that sparks a 5 page long argument about who's regional is better....

Yes, it's ridiculous and the FOs (ERAU grads too) that think they'll be moving on in a year or two ought to lay down the pipe. The majors draw pilots from every corner of aviation. SkyWest pilots don't have more opportunity than anyone else. GoJet captains are the same to Delta as SkyWest captains....

I'm not using my good eye but what?
If a commuter is nothing to brag about shouldn't they be "too cool" for this?

But it does bring an interesting point....half of the 4,200 pilots have been hired in the last 4-5 years. Thankfully there are many "old" guys still here whose excellent example will rub off.

Here is the deal. If your young single. Go were you can get a quick upgrade.. if ylur in that category you dont care were you live.. you have a family and want a life beyond work and just getting to a major in 2-4 years. Then go somewhere that will fit ylur family's life.. so what if it takes you 5-7 years to get to a Major. Life won't be miserable for you...
