Because they value their employees so much.

haha, ignore this Clarence Over fellla guys! He's only here to stir the pot.

IF he really is like this in real life, the hiring gang will weed him out so fast that he'll have Myra making the 10:00 AM PA: "The interviewee who called for the airport shuttle, your shuttle has arrived."

Which thread topic? The original topic of what SkyWest is like to work at? Or the ****y side topic of you vs whoever else that has been raging on the past 15 something pages? Sorry if I hurt your feelings, muffin!

Anywho, let us indeed get it back on track...

Congrats on the ORD base, BTW. Are you close to being done with sim? Any word on how long of a break between differences training & IOE?

But I certainly have talked to people in SGU who allude to the fact that they want to shrink. Combine that with a lack of demand for 50 seat RJs, the EMB 120 fading out, bigger e175s arriving but not going to SkyWest like they had hoped, a tough time finding pilots in the future, UA actively looking for used 19 320s or 737s to take back regional flying similar to DL and their 717s...and it just doesn't look as bright as it did 8/9years ago. SkyWest could well boost their ProRate flying to mitigate the reduction, but I think a reduction is coming one way or the other. Attrition could make it a wash. We will see.

Either way, you will enjoy your time there.
I am not sure if I completely agree with this. There is, undoubtedly, some shrinking of the 200 fleet that is going to happen. Though, they have been saying that for years. Same with the brasillias, but they keep making money. So I'll believe that when I see it. In the mean time, it seems like the 175 flying is balancing that planned shrinking out nicely, and even increasing flying a bit.

As far as UA taking back their flying, I think there are few at SkyWest who want to go to the majors (myself included) who wouldn't welcome that with open arms! Take it back!
