Several factors.
For someone like me, it was better when we started and we are hoping it gets better in the future. Two years buys you a lot of seniority here at the moment, so leaving would be stupid. And of course many of us are trying leave. Just not to other regionals.
Others are trying to leave but haven't finished training, so they can't, because that looks bad on PRIA. Others owe money from the sign on bonus and might be waiting until one year is up.
As far as "Would you rather have the best contract and be shut down or accept minor inconveniences in exchange for a future?"....
Please. How about an average contract???? That would be a nice start. No one is asking for $150,000 and 18 days off. People want to not be extended 14 times a year. People want a duty rig so they are actually paid for a seven hour airport sit.
I'm tired of people at this airline thinking if you get a good contract you'll suddenly end up as Comair. It just shows ignorance.

If you guys don't like it, leave. I am tired of people complaining. Would you rather have the best contract and be shut down or accept minor inconveniences in exchange for a future? This is the regionals, not Legacy Warmup Airline; cheapest bidder wins.
There are other things you can do to improve your QoL besides complain on an internet board. Go ask your union what is being done to improve your grievances. Better yet, go volunteer so you can make a difference.

Give us your opinion on this SKNpilot and Mitsubishipilot? What would you HONESTLY say to someone asking this question who have never been in the 121 world?

Negatives:
We don't have the best contract, pay, QoL etc. etc.. Happy? I would like to see improvements, but the issues are minor enough I am willing to put up with it, for a while. The company realizes new-hire numbers are not as planned but it is a multi-faceted issue. When they realize they need to improve these issues, they will change it. Until then, I just point out the obvious when asked and don't complain.
The things we can offer are:
One of the best crew climates - despite the negative issues and morale, C5 is a family. I have been at multiple operations and C5 has been the most welcoming and memorable experiences I have had.
Fast movement- Months on reserve, not years.
Available flying- if you want to work, you can. A lot of people are offering trips for pickup and there is ample open time. You might not get your standardized 11/12 days off a month, but you will get your time to upgrade fast and eventually get out of the regionals.
I'm done now. I have heard all your arguments repetitively and I am tired of the squabbling. Bash or troll me as you please. That is my honest answer.
