Having worked there for several years there's so much i could tell you!!! You think you're disillusioned now?...... Despite some glaring issues here at Skywest, it's a night and day difference between the 2!!

I'm actually looking to be based in NW. So SEA and PDX are considered junior bases at OO? I could handle living in MSP or ORD for 8 months before coming back to the NW. Now the question is, would that be a wise choice to spend 5+ years there? What are the chances OO might pull out?

Alaska will always keep OO in their back pocket to whipsaw Horizon. Not saying that with malice, just the way it is.

Does anyone know how to successfully establish communication with any SAPA rep? This is now the third time I have tried to unsuccessfully email one (all three separate people) over the past few months regarding separate issues important to me... regardless if they were important to them it still warrants a response as it is our "union."
