He is being sarcastic FYI.

Would you be willing to compare W2s with Endeavor after their TA passes? (it will pass)
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.

Enough! We do not want a union at our airline. What is it that you do not understand? Relations between pilots and management is rather good. There will always be a disenfranchised element of our pilot group that comes to post negative sentiment on APC. You know who you are. 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 :cool: 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.

I will be upgrading though. I am thankful that I am at SkyWest and not at a burning dumpster fire like Endeavor.

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?
