Skywest is mid industry average right now. Only the amount of bases is appealing to most.

Please put the drink down and step away from the punch bowl. How many of the skywest peeps are getting 60,000 the first year? Starting pay at $38 an hour for a full min guarantee while in training?

Short term, other regionals are paying more to attract new hires. This is fine for the un-informed, or those willing to take a calculated risk that they'll upgrade fast and not get stuck there.
But SKW is still attracting new hires, and they're either coming for the bases, or they're older folks who have been around the block a few times and either plan on staying, or want to be comfortable if they get stuck.

^^^ this
it is all about supply and demand. People vote with their feet. And as long as new hires come here it is obviously attractive by their metrics - salary being only one of many.

No, he's right. If you look at the long term...

Absolutely right, but for the average 24 year old newhire, it's gonna cost. Every year not spent at the majors will cost you hundreds of thousands, if not millions at the end of your career. This job is a seniority based endeavor, screw around at the start and it just might mean retiring on the narrowbody instead of the widebody fleets. Screw it up bad enough snowboarding and surfing and it could be the proverbial million dollar mistake. Stay hungry and escape the regional prison system as soon as you can get parole.
