I mean this is the most honest way but how is it that SkyWest is able to offer a Safe and Quality operation without ever (seemingly) having to bring "cheap" into the equation? Would it have something to do with their geographical coverage and reputation? Every time I look around they've got more flying contracts/airplanes handed down to them.
No doubt I'm happy for them. But meanwhile the East Coast regionals incessantly squabble and fight for contracts/airplanes/(now pilots?) when skywest is out there stuffing their face and doing a damn good job for the passengers and airline partners.
Just an observation. (You may now cannibalize me)

And yes, when you take their profit sharing out of the picture, their total compensation is a good bit below L-ASA. It's far below L-XJT. Their operational flexibility is unparalleled. And yes, their pilot group has always bent over and said "thank you sir, may I have another".

Out of curiosity, does LASA pay out unused vacation upon quitting? I don't have a contract in front of me. Thanks.

P.S. if you're quitting and have sick time, look to see if anyone is in need of donated sick time. I know several generous pilots who have donated their sick time in the last week or two of their career here to whomever was in need (medical leave, etc...)

I already considered that and will donate every last hour. However, I don't have much. Good point though. I hope everyone that leaves considers this. It's a great cause and I hate to give the company and free hours.

Looks like a good amount of check airman openings on ERJ side, and a few on CRJ200 side.
