Starting to get close to my hours and looking at the regionals. I have always wanted Skywest, however with other regionals paying 50-60k starting its hard for me to justify going to Skywest. Is there any talks of Skywest upping their pay to compete with the others?

Supposedly we're in contract negotiations early but I wouldn't count on it. Other places have to have bonuses to fill classes for a number of different reasons, Skywest fills classes without huge payouts, why do you think that is?

I think the pay will go up.. but pay is just a small piece of the puzzle. There is a reason Mesa has to throw cash at you to join them.. SkyWest offer above average pay, quick upgrade and good base QOL.. way more important then a 20k bonus and being based in JFK commuting to SEA..

I made $40k first year at SkyWest when pay was essentially $30/hr. Pay is now $36.50 first year so your results may vary.

I fly corporate but have thought about making the switch in the next year. I know it really depends on a lot of different factors, but with pay now at $36.50/hr, what can an FO realistically expect to make? Based off the previous post, ~$46k?

Well FWIW, I have made slightly over $36k thus far on $36.50 per hour; was on reserve for four months, thereafter I had a line ever since. I am on month ten of one full year being here, so I will likely make slightly more than $40k for year one. It took a heck of lot of OT flying roughly 90 to 100 block per month for every month of being here to do that. No sign-on bonus, if any of you get that good for you.

Wow
It wasnt long ago I netted less than 20k.
This is good to see.
Last I heard SKYW did have a conditional sign on bonus for qualifying applicants.
