What about with Air Wisconsin?
You are delusional if you honestly believe we are the at the top. We just passed a TA and we are still not the highest paid. In a few short months we will be right in the middle of the pack or worse.
Might as well throw in benefit plans as well. I know my 401k match and Defined Contribution plans, along with the medical and LTD offered by my union (gasp!) carrier put the skywest plans to shame.

Well then, we are all very glad that you are there and not here.

I suspect that many are on here bashing SkyWest because they are miserable where they are and resent that we are not.

We are just rolling the bonus into pay rates. It's not a raise. It's just converting bonus money into hard pay rates. So I'm not sure you want to compare W2 with an endeavor pilot. I hope this puts pressure on Skywest to raise pay. You guys deserve more.

Ignorance is bliss, my friend.

Yep. Those regionals are burning dumpster fires. Especially XJT.

You do not speak for the greater majority of us who wish to see further expansion of our airline and more aircraft at the cost of lower pay. Proud to be at SkyWest We truly are the best regional and our success speaks volumes about us.
True 15 years ago.

Not so much today, many very senior folks are bailing for legacies.

"Success" for pilots means more flying and less time off, and impossible PBS Chinese puzzles which ensure ridiculous scheduling of the few days off.

Still a good place to get your PIC, but anyone planning a career at ANY regional does so at their own peril.

Burning dumpster fire? Oh please enlighten me

You're supposed to be a smart pilot? Maybe do research before spewing nonsense. Is it true that Skywest just gets actual leg pay and not scheduled pay if it's greater?

I do not think he is being serious.

IMO, he is poking fun at OO due to the career progression/pay at Envoy and the new proposed TA at 9E.

Who cares. I dont commute, make as much as my friends that went to XJT, ASA, wisky, ect. Im happy here tell i move on. I realy dont care one of those guys make on a paper pay scale $2.13 a hr more then me.. he spends that a month in hotels and lost days to commuting... and W2 the end of the year. Some how i made more... but i realy dont care.. its the time you spend at a regionals.. get in get out and move on... why the heck should we bicker about who makes more at 12 year!! If your still around a regional after that long. Then you may need to rethink things...
