They're kind of at the point where they need to do this, or just settle in and get comfortable on a descending glideslope to oblivion... and hope the shortage runs out before they impact the terrain.
They'll lose a lot of applicants but at least they can plan for the future, however much smaller that's going to be.
This must be Pan B, since Plan A didn't work out (hope and pray for a big recession).

Bunch of glaring problems:
Right off the bat
1. Pilot promises to pay to the order of SkyWest in Saint George, Utah...This would have to say SkyWest Airlines Inc, as "SkyWest" is not the legally filed business name
Other thing, it refers to SkyWest Charter, LLC as "SWC", which is not its legally filed business name.
Those are two glaring examples. Its fake AF

BREAKING
SkyWest has implemented a $70,100 dollar training bond.
New-hire pilots at SkyWest Airlines must now commit to employment at SkyWest Airlines until they have completed 2,000 PIC at the carrier (approximately 3-6 years).
A similar contract was implemented last month by Republic Airways. Republic is reportedly able to fill new hire classes despite the bond. Teamsters is challenging Republic's training bond. Skywest does not have a union.

Only applies to the foreign pilots. I assume on that E3 visa? If so they are ineligible to be hired by any of the majors anyway on that Visa so doesn’t really change anything for them unless they want to go back home early.
