Dual class flying for DTW people will probably be a near term announcement that changes things.

You can't just compare hourly rates. Take a look at the work rules. Minimum daily guarantee, duty guarantee, premium pay, trip rig, holiday pay, etc.. If you don't know what those are and how the other airlines stack up do some research. How does the airline handle block or better. Leg by leg, or some sort of daily guarantee?
Most SkyWest pilots credit significantly more hours than they block every month.

This. You can count on crediting about 33% more than you fly due to work rules. This year, about 25% of my pay comes from hours I didn't fly (DH pay, MDG, trip rigs, etc.
Eh, not for a newhire. You'll see about $1200 in performance rewards. Financial rewards don't kick in til Year 3 I think.

You couldn't pay me $50-60k a year to deal with the type of schedules Envoy pilots are complaining about in their thread. Anytime someone offers a bonus...ask why?? There's a pilot shortage sure but Skywest hires 80-90 without offering bonuses (besides 121/135/type over 12500lbs exp bonus - $7500) .no bonus goes "you know what, lets give them 20k cos they are great people"

This is a SkyWest topic. Go to Skywest.. i came rom Envoy.. they no "shsre" the flow with the PDT/PSA ect... like UA canceled ( ok differed)there 737 order. If that was AA flow would have stoped, Envoy's upgrades stoped and so on.. there schedules did Suck. But i liked the travel priority. Im my take Envoy is to much of a risk.. especially if you want ORD..

So anyone else look over the prices for the loss of medical insurance? seems a little high. Under 30 with $35k year is about $50/month... I was up for it until I saw that.
