Sometimes it takes more than 50 words to make some good points.

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but skywest is starting a 24month zero-hero program using their newly purchased TransPac, soon to be renamed "Aeroguard".
Day 1: student pilot
Day 720: start at Skywest.

Stock closed at $44.40, up $10 over the last month, that's almost 30%. Something's going on behind the scenes.

The rest of the aviation trading word has sold off over the last month and offers better value.
We will see.
I think they may be buying back shares they said they were going.

Not commuting usually trumps pay/QOL. As for new airplanes, how does Mesa and TSA do it? They are privately owned as well. Regionals don't have to finance their airplanes.

Air Whiskey? All CRJ 200. My latest PPS check amounted to about another $8.80 before taxes which would put me about $15/hr ahead of someone of comparable seniority over there. They do have good trip and duty rigs.
Way back, ExpressJet had it good. SkyWest conspired with Continental to undermine them. OO Home office stabbed you guys in the back, front, side and up the corn hole. That was way before they bought you. The irony being that they bought the horrible contract that they forced on you. I don't blame you one bit for holding a grudge. I would too. I think you are wise to get out, I think SGU is tired of running multiple airlines in parallel and is slowly winding you down.

It didn't take that long. Plus, on the app, I can come back to it and finish replying to other posts before posting.
Yes, air wisconsin CRJ200s attached to a contract that makes up for it in other compensation items and QOL. Their total compensation rivals some regionals with dual class aircraft despite their 50 seat pay rates. As for PPS, first, it's not contractual. Second, it's not 100% certain as your pay rates are. You can't plan on it because in the airline business you never know what can happen. On top of the fact that even if you are sure you may get it, you don't know how much it's going to be like you know how much your pay rate times minimum monthly guarantee is going to be. Third, air Wisconsin has profit sharing as well. But if you don't like air Wisconsin as an example, how about RAH? Point being that it's not all about pay rates alone or QOL items alone. If you truly want to that apples to apples comparison, take your total compensation and divide it by total block hours flown.
