I disagree. I've always found SkyWest RJ aircraft interiors to look very old, worn, dirty, and beat up on SkyWest compared to the same aircraft type operated by Compass, Endeavor, etc., where the planes seemed new and fresh.
My favorite example of this was a SkyWest CRJ-900 (which I had the dubious pleasure of flying several times in succession) where the FC lavatory not only was closed because it was inoperable but also had a very permanent-looking sign or should I say plaque to this effect.
I've also noticed that on this aircraft type, SkyWest has glued the doors closed on the (small) bins over the A side seats in FC. On other RJ carriers, this space is useable for small items, which is especially handy if one is seated in 1A.
