I’ve finally completed all of the requirements for going back to college and I should be starting here on the 19th.
Working at SkyWest, while fun at times, does not appear to have any of the wonderful advancement opportunities I had originally envisioned. Along with this, it has a remarkably low payscale for the type of work and abuse that these employees must endure. Consider that call center workers in Big Spring made $8/hr and its amazing that the airlines can get anyone to even apply at $10.25 /hr. That includes real work folks!
But that’s not the worst of it. Continental hires at $9.25/hr. United (mainline) hires at less than we do. In fact, for the first five years SkyWest payscales are higher than UALs.
No wonder all those agents hate us.
Super! Congratulations and all that! I really think a degree will get you more of what you want, since you like the management end and all.
