Who's going to represent the left handed pilots and their unique interests? How about the ugly if skywest ever gets one?
She has been at SW 11 months so she will be gone in 4 months.
You need to vote her in quickly before she is gone to Delta and describing how bad it was at the regionals.

SkyWest has just announced a new "Pro" program.
Up to 2 years leave and some tuition reimbursement to approved employees to become a pilot or mechanic.
I think the desperation is beginning to set in....

Thank you, very helpful perspective.
Ignore them for the most part. Reasonably so, only three things matter to SGU...
1) Are people showing up for class?
2) Are junior FO's leaving for other regionals?
3) Are too many CA's leaving? They want healthy CA attrition in general, keeps costs lower and provides upgrades which really helps with 1) and 2). But they obviously don't want them to leave faster than they can replace them.
What eastern regionals do doesn't impact 1) and 2) as much as you might think. Most people on the west coast and inter-mountain west are shall-we-say less than enamored with the Eastern US.
People get all excited when a regional increases new-hire pay by 50% or more, but 50% of nothing is still approximately nothing. Enticing people to live where they don't want to live is not a function of a percentage, it's a function of actual money... and nowhere in this discussion are we talking actual money yet. Need to go over to the Legacy new-hire discussion for that. Now for me personally I might be tempted by flow, but the noobs today expect that the bigs will be hiring like gangbusters off the street soon enough anyway, and they might be right.
What other regionals do doesn't affect 3). More new hires cannot solve 3). I think SGU is saving raises for CA's for when they really need them. Or they may have concluded that huge percentage raises for CAs will only influence the decision of a handful of fence-sitters. The very senior guys are staying, the junior guys are leaving, and no regional can change that.

Yes they can. Factually, plenty of cool-aid to go around. Some are just sweeter than others
. Endeavor, Air Whisky, and WO are just adding more $ugar
