There are lots of companies that book lots of single rooms for training just fine. It’s time that you realize what you’re worth. You’re a professional

Wait until you try some of our tasty koolaid!

And SkyWest doesn't look at us as professionals, but rather a necessary burden.

Evey Airline has its “issues”. This forum board can attest to that.. like i said. If you live in Charlotte why would you even ask on a SkyWest sub forum if you should come here. Gave him my reasons. But by all means avoid commuting.. SkyWest has issues... so Does Envoy/ Horizon. Ect. Pick the one you want to deal with...

FFS, talk about resignation?? While it may be true that there is no perfect regional, at least many are working to improve them.

Skywest unfortunately lately has way more issues than many regionals. They lost their “prestige” years ago and are now close to the bottom.

I don’t know about years ago, but I can’t argue with the rest.

The double occupancy really isn't an issue. When I was hired at Envoy in 2011, we shared a regular room at a LaQuinta for weeks with just two double beds in it. That sucked, but the setup here isn't bad. Everyone has their own bedroom and you share the common area

The LGA 175 rumors are pretty strong with all this Delta flying we're picking up. That base will go pretty junior if it happens.

For what it's worth.

That shouldn't be bad. I start next week. Could be nice having a room mate to study with.

Next week you will be a professional airline pilot.

Act like one.

Expect to be treated as one.

This isn't boy scout camp.

Hold the profession!

In my experience ppl make it out to be a bigger deal than what its is. You will 99% sure be paired with a Captain and they have their own room, so your roommate will be a FO who will probably have a different schedule than you in the sim so realistically after the initial ground you hardly see each other
