Skywest talking pilot pay raise

[www.]

Why would skywest vote for alpa. Alpa has done NOTHING for reginoals. Skywest has one of the best contracts. They are getting so much growth its silly.

If they vote in alpa then that growth will stop. It may come at the expense of asa but thats life and while asa has alpa its just the way its going to be

He leaves ASA for CAL but he can't get off this board. It's no longer your battle. Move on.

No, they got that because they have a good company

No they got it because JA was playing the game.

It's like saying that JA "GAVE" them eveything out of the goodness of his heart. Yeah, right.

Does anyone know how much of a raise they are talking about?

We get crew meals now. Do you get that?

Are you talking about that hippy crap hummus and tuna with crackers? YGBSM!

 

[John Pennekamp]

Spoken like a true...dare I say it...SCAB!! Get all those things BECAUSE of all the other UNION carriers, you must be SOOOOOO PROUD!!

Tomcat, you're embarassing our pilot group. Stop calling the Skywest pilots scabs and educate yourself on what that word means!!!

It's better than what Eagle has .... oops ... HAD...they got their "meals" taken away after a month.....tuna and crackers is much better than nothing on an 8 leg day with no breaks.......

Man there are going to be lots of responses here.

We get crew meals now. Do you get that?

We actually do.

Alpa has done NOTHING for reginoals.

ALPA is made up of pilots, its not some foreign entity, you get what you can negotiate based on your position, economics, and your pilot group.

Skywest has one of the best contracts.

Skywest does not have a union and therefore they dont HAVE A CONTRACT. Go fly a kite you have no idea what you're talking about.

Stop calling the Skywest pilots scabs and educate yourself on what that word means!!!

Maybe you should educate yourself first. The following is the definition from several dictionaries;

webster:a contemptible person b (1) : a worker who refuses to join a labor union (2) : a union member who refuses to strike or returns to work before a strike has ended (3) : a worker who accepts employment or replaces a union worker during a strike (4) : one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion terms

Dictionary.com: a worker who refuses to join a labor union or to participate in a union strike, who takes a striking worker's place on the job, or the like.

Historical block or better
100% deadhead
100%cancellation

You forgot to mention tht you also have " re-flow"
For guys who don't know what that is. Its like getting Junior manned without getting 150% pay.

Well since last time management only offered us a whopping 1.2%, we're probably not looking at a whole lot more than that. Its all a ploy to get us to vote against a union.

Looks like no raise. Word is cards are going out, so Brad will now be unable to even ofer any thing. IE. cant try to influence the vote by ofering a raise. It would have been nice to give him at least a week to see if they realy were going to come through with enough to cover dues.
