As soon as you can get a line (maybe a month or two at the junior bases) PBS will load you up with 90+ hours of credit every month.
Too bad you guys don't have an enforceable document like a Collective Bargaining Agreement that could possibly make life a little better.

Stock is marching downward. Not free falling yet, but replacement of the top financial guys in such a short period will cause more than a little investor unrest.

Just got the official offer!
Even though there was no sim, they still do a real interview and I am glad I passed it.
Since I have other offers from "quick upgrade" airlines, I have a tough decision to make! Anyone can list the major positives of the skw contract? I am hearing upgrade time is now down to 4 years.
Commute is not a factor as I will have to commute.

We have a large closed group of only current and ex skywest pilots that share critical information about job fairs, and hiring at majors and other outlets. If you're not part of it and would like to join, pm me.

Congrats on the offer. I've been here for around a year and a half and so for so good. In comparison to most other regionals it's a good company, with good pay, good crews and good maintenance. My advice to you is avoid commuting if you can. If you're flexible, relocate to a junior base so you can hold a line faster.

Previously CFI & part 135 single pilot IFR.
