Compared to other regionals hardly anyone is leaving. I move up maybe 10 per month while my friends at other regionals are moving up 90/month. I bet if we take a concessionary contract our upgrade time will drop back down to 2 years too when they jump ship.

As a senior jet FO at SkyWest, one can bring down $60,000-$80,000. Have to be able to hold soft time to do so, but it's possible.
I'm hoping to bring down $120,000-$150,000 this year between all my income sources. So it's possible to make a good living on a FO schedule, just have to work hard, take few days off, and develop some skills outside of flying.

Our work rules and pay aren't bad. It's a hard decision to give up a schedule of doing all locals and standups making 100k/year and go back to reserve for the chance to make 150k. I'm definitely going to try to move on, but I can see where a lot of people are coming from who don't know if they want to.
If our company were treating us like RAH, Eagle or 9E treat their employees then a lot more people would be moving on.
