SkyWest – “Good luck moving up with SkyWest....”

Pros

The ability to travel was a great benefit until major partners began putting their feet down in 2007 to 2008. The health and 401K benefits with SkyWest are very good.

Cons

Non-rev travel needs to be clarified. NEVER plan on getting anywhere you need to go for free. Travel benefits are for WHIM travel only. You look at flights that day and see if anything is open and go IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY. While the flights are free--hotels, cars, and food are not and you will not get rich working at SkyWest. Airlines think they can pay poorly, especially regionals like SkyWest, because you can fly "FREE"...nothing is ever free.

Advice to Senior Management

Too much lip service to front line employees. Benefits are cut and restructured while many in SGU are doing just fine with stock options and Mini Indy parties. Please HELP employees better themselves. ANY help with college tuition would make a world of difference to many. Like management has said about entry level jobs, "this position was never meant to be a career."
