First, I guess I'm a bit confused, where is the dilemna? Is this airline hiring right now that you're considering applying or not applying? If they're not hiring, why worry yourself with these kinds of thoughts. Enjoy where you are, and if/when they start hiring again, re-asses your life and make your desicion then.

Where will Skywest be 10-15-20 years down the line? Where will any of the present airlines be then?

That statement right there is precisely why I said what I said above. There are NO GUARANTEES that SkyWest or any other carrier that is around now will still exist in 10, 20 or 30 years, or what capacity they'll be existing in.

Make your decisions based on the information you have available to you at the time. My decision to leave Eagle to go to AA got me furloughed, and ultimately ended my career. Bill's decision to leave TWA for Delta ended up keeping him from being furloughed. There's no magic crystal ball. If you're happy where you are right now, stay. When that major starts hiring, you can think about it then. Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll go.
