They may not be feeling it severely yet but they will. Every other regional is, and Skywest is not immune to it. Unless SAPA keeps giving them a life raft.
We are hiring at bare minimums. Many times new hires need to log their sim time just to qualify.
If the 1500 rule isn't changed and if we wouldn't give them things like soft landing 2.0 and part time pilots, Skywest would soon be noticing it in the hiring department.
I guess the only thing I like about the new pay package is that it is so bad that it might cause people not to come here.

Yes. Granted. No argument on that. However my larger point still stands. The company kool-aid pedallers pushing this the hardest, sell it as some monumental paradigm shift in the airline industry. That's a load of BS

"the pilots that may have been burned by SkyWest to begin with"
If you are referring to ASA/XJET. I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever. Hell, although I don't claim to be an expert on SLIs, I'm all in favor of merging the lists completely. Should have been done long ago.

Must be hedging their bets.

I think it's true that we do lose a few candidates that would be here, if the pay was higher. But, that being said, they're doing a good job still hiring. Money hasn't been the big driving factor for people to come here. If we can fill classes on $36.50/hr just fine, we won't have problems at $37.25/hr. We all know why people come here. QOL, bases, and historic stability.

I haven't been here long enough to comment on that....but....based on the conversations I have with Captains, I know what you mean. It's still not as bad as some regionals, but I don't know how much it will affect our hiring in the future. Has yet to be seen.

Another forum said they had 1 person in their last systems class....

Not sure if that's true or not

And retention bonuses in the works at CZ.... But we're at the best regional, we should be glad that we're being paid at all to work here, right?
