I think you answered your own question. I'm sure most just don't want to work for the company that shut them down. I don't blame them.
They also have many other options that are equal or better. Many other regionals are offering massive sign on and retention bonuses with a flow agreement to fall back on.
I imagine a lot of ASA guys are moving on to majors and LCCs as well which is obviously better than the soft landings offer.

Anybody who can of course move on to larger pastures, should. But for some senior folks who are too old, tired, skeletons, etc soft landings might be a financial godsend, relatively speaking. I'll give SKW credit for that, if they just wanted to poach FO's from other regionals they could have capped it at 2-3 years.
Even with some skeletons you can get yourself into a LCC which will pay more by 3 years than Skywest even with soft landing starting you at 10 years on the pay scale.
The guys only 2 or less years from retirement would benefit the most from the massive sign on bonuses from other regionals.
I only see a small niche for the soft landing with the current demand for pilots.

Anyone catch this quote from InSight:
"InFlight Standards has been busy preparing the necessary information for the additional ERJ 175 aircraft we will be operating in the AS system soon. These aircraft will have slight differences in the cabin which will be communicated through an issued Alert Bulletin."
Hopefully they are not talking about the QX aircraft we were rumored to be getting toward the end of this year.

I remember reading in one of the communications sent out to QX pilots the the aircraft were built with different cabin/galley specs or something of that nature. I hope we are not preparing to take QX aircraft. Not good.

That is exactly what that means. If they aren't reconfiguring the cabin, it makes me wonder if is a temporary transfer of aircraft or is it permanent. They won't be delivered for six months or more, that should be plenty of time to standardise the cabins prior to delivery.
