Right now we are hiring everything we can.

But in training you get to bunk with another guy, even Mesa doesn't make you do that.

Envoys vote pretty much assures there will be no growth to hope for an ungrade less than 7 years.

We just fired the 30 year employee doing the hiring.

And management walked away from pay negotiations with no return plans except for concession talks.



GO ANY WHERE ELSE!

Hey how about you quit, climb under a rock and make yourself disappear. Let me move up the list.

TO THOSE LOOKING AT SKYWEST:
So far I really like SkyWest, after 2.5 months on reserve I am holding a line, I live where I want, I work with a lot of fun and very knowledgeable people and I look forward to my future with SkyWest and beyond. We are expanding, and we may not keep getting pay increases because of way too many regionals signing concessionary contracts, but I believe we will stay towards the top of the regional list to work at.

so pretty much the average for a new hire would be at least five years as I understand

Signed,
Blissfully out of touch
Lol
Envoy will be the straw that broke the camels back. It won't be long before Skywest is trying to ram 12 and 4 year pay scales damn our throats here.

Wow not even here for a year and already telling people to quit.

Here's a big issue at Skywest right now... When you time out no one knows what will happen. So far one person was only paid the credit on the trips he flew and nothing more. This is a huge deal! So far other regionals still pay guarantee if you time out, but we don't have any clear language in our policy manual regarding this. Our bidding software also takes into account your flight time and can/will adjust accordingly. In the last 6 months the only people I've flown with that have blocked less than 90 hours a month are dedicated stand up crews in my opinion were going to see some serious staffing issues pretty soon. I'm not saying don't come here because I enjoy it, but there will be some turmoil this summer unlike any others in the past.
