H-1B sponsorship profile: SkyWest Airlines. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, SkyWest Airlines filed 194 Labor Condition Applications covering 1,886 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 95.4% (185 certified of 194 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on SkyWest Airlines’s H-1B petitions range from $97,386 at the low end to $367,661 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $234,093. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Pilot, First Officer (101 petitions at $193,738 avg), followed by Captain and Pilot, First Officer . H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.

Geographic footprint. SkyWest Airlines is headquartered in Saint George, UT under NAICS code 48111, and places H-1B workers across 2 states, most heavily in IL, GA. Combined, these signals give a granular view of how one employer uses the H-1B program, volume, approval cleanliness, wage posture, and where the jobs actually sit on the map.

Where SkyWest Airlines ranks. By H-1B petition volume, SkyWest Airlines is #1,070 of 119,880 employers nationally and #8 of 1,013 employers headquartered in UT. The gap between the two is the point: a mid-size national sponsor can still be a top-10 name in its own state's H-1B market.
