SKYWEST AIRLINES Employer Reviews

Parking planes and loading and unloading of passengers and their luggage. Learned los how the weight of fuel passengers and their luggage can affect planes takeoff. Management and co workers were the same all arround , everyone had the same responsibility. Hardest part of he job since its outdoors would be the rain and hott weather.

It all starts with management not encouraging a positive atmosphere and keeping employees focused on the work at hand. From the top tier it is possible to inspire a well integrated work place but not with a negative down side being presented. I learned a lot about jets from the amazing teachers hired from within and adamant about updates on company – more...  aircraft. Some co workers were good people but the rest were probably affected from years of being layed off. The hardest part of the job is the time needed vs the time allotted. A typical day at work is waiting for something to fix and keeping managers happy. – less

The job's fairly easy, you have a break in between planes, you do basic ramp operations. After training where they say everything is peachy and professional, the reality is that the pay's pretty low and the people they hold on to are unprofessional and looking for an easy buck. This results in somewhat horrific safety practices, people disregarding – more...  operating procedures and nobody reports anyone for it. – less

A typical day at work was loading and unloading planes with luggages. Maintained and stocked airplanes with necessary items needed for next flight. Learned to have everything ready on time for flight ready for next airline arrival.

SkyWest is one of the few companies that truly care about their employees. When other companies are asking how can we improve for the customer they ask the question what can we do for our employees to help them better assist the customer. The training there is superior to any other training I have received.

This is one of the better airlines, not just as a regional carrier but as a company altogether to fly for. No other carrier, that I'm aware of, has better travel benefits than SkyWest. Yes, you may be working on smaller, regional jets, but you're working for 4 major carriers! The income isn't great but that's standard in this industry - at least for – more...  the first several years. So be prepared to either work A LOT (after youve done your penance on researve) if you need to survive on 1 income, or have a flexible second job. – less

If you like to work hard and play hard then this is a good job for you. I loved working there with a good group and being able to play hard and fly anywhere for my days off.

SkyWest is a great company to work for. I enjoyed being able to work for the Chief Pilot and work with over 1,500 employees.

One of the best jobs I've had the privilege of working for. Immediately acclimated to the people, and work to name a few. My work was acknowledged, and whenever I needed extra help with my duties, my fellow coworkers were there to back me up. Anyone can do this job.
