My advice is take a lot of these troll-like posters with a huge grain of salt and simply enjoy what you do. We get paid to fly airplanes and most of the time it is pretty darn fun.
Work hard, have fun, help others, and continue to position yourself to be competitive for your airline and/or plane of choice.

Someone with 5 months in this career and at SkyWest
Who cares we get paid to fly airplanes? Like this is some sort of gift the airlines give us, paying us AND letting us fly planes?

Seems like every forum has their share of Negative Nancys. And there are a handful of people that love to troll multiple forums bashing each airline and predicting nothing but gloom and doom, which seems to incite unrest in people. It's a shame these forums are like that, but it is what it is. My advice is take a lot of these troll-like posters with a huge grain of salt and simply enjoy what you do.

Really is there anything good though?
The displacement?
The mgmt?
The getting locked in a basement in puerto rico ?
someone please, tell me anything good about this place. If I were a person looking at this place I question why they would come here. I wish this place had shown its true colors before I accepted the offer.
In other words after we get bought out by F9 and franke presents a contract on par with what Franke would offer, all of the fanboys here Cinco, CLE to IAH etc are the ones who are going to sell us all upstream instead of fighting or holding out for anything. Why? Because they think everything right now is just fine and criticize anyone who thinks otherwise.

Fair enough though I'd rather be negative then bury my head in the sand like so many at least on this forum do. I rarely run into a NK cheerleader on the line. Actually not sure that has ever happened except for the guys fininshing out their golden years here who dont really care either way.

Franke owned us in 2010 when we got, after a strike, an at the time, industry leading contract. Granted it lasted like 3 months before it was eclipsed, but still, it happened under him. Tell me you spent 9 months at skywest and plopped right into in airbus without telling you spent 9 months at skywest and plopped right into an airbus.

so for 3 months you got a good contract? sorry and this isnt against you or anyone but frankly it sounds like Franke got what Franke wanted. Just like Franke is going to get this place again for pennies in comparison to the B6 offer. Expect another "groundbreaking" contract inbound. I know I'm ready to pay for Flica and have to present a doctors note while getting my base eroded from under me. Honestly cant wait.

How I ever got here really blows my mind. The operations officer can't even format an email. Literally.

Just an update. This place has all the problems I've listed and zero ways to fix attrition. Subpar contract incoming. It will be senior captains v mid tier and below fo's battling between retirement, pay scales and time off. Can't wait. Your sack can lead the way.

On a side note, is there a way to block someone?
