      I have been working at SkyWest Airlines full-time for more than 2 years

      Pros

      I love the flexibility the job offers. We have so many bases, it would be hard to not get your first choice of the base you want. If you don't get it out of training, you will in a month or two.

      Cons

      Working on the smaller aircraft like the CRJ's when it's raining or snowing the curtain doesn't really help. You get cold and wet.

      Advice to Management

      Let FA wear heavier coats during the cold months.

      I have been working at SkyWest Airlines full-time for more than 2 years

      Cons

      All FAs start on reserve and depending on the base you can be on reserve over one year. When trying to search for other work to supplement income, other employers, the reserve status makes finding a flexible second employer difficult. The pay is great if you want to have this as a fun job with assistance of a partner or family or staying in a crash pad. I would not try to make this a primary income source unless it’s...

      Advice to Management

      It’s boasted that this organization is the highest paying regional airline in the industry; however, raise the bar and pay a more livable wage. Especially, since the wages are paid based on the Railroad Labor Act and not standard Labor Laws. Part of the corporate philosophy should center on employee rentention.
