Skyw pay vote

[jea]

Hey Sweetie...

Just to let you know I flew 135, flew for a regional, then came to SkyW.
Voted yes for the raise.
Tell good old Duane I said hi.

I did the same, 135, other regional vote.... ive got friends who have been on at other regionals for over 6 years coming to Skywest for quality of life and a pay raise... i love alpa ha ha ha ha what a joke

What rules does Jerry have to follow at SKW? Ultimately, just his own.

Beware the override on the 70/bigger aircraft. You only get that rate when your flying the plane, right? What about everything else? DH, cancel, training, vacation, all those other credits are paid at the lower rate, right?

Exactly right. You are only paid the override for hours you actually fly the larger airplane (even differences training for the larger aircraft is paid at the new 50-seat rate.)

Voted No!

Any predictions?

Nothing for the bro
14 cents/ hr. raise for newhires
current rates for the 50+ 1%
5% for actual block on the 70
the 90 will be paid the same as the 70....
....no 18 duty day max

Minor point here. NO ONE has an 18 duty day max in scheduled 121 ops...it's NOT LEGAL. Anything over 16 hours means you don't have minimum rest (8 hours) in the last 24.

At SkyWest, you will not be scheduled for more than 14 and any unscheduled day over 15 is with crew consent only (per Crew Policy Manual).

I'm so sick of this SkyWest bashing. It's real sad that you hate your current regional so much that you have to cherry pick misdirected and/or incorrect assumptions about the industry's best. If you guys are so smart why don't you go out and start your own airline? I'd love to see what you pay. If you're not willing to do that then stop your crying.

I'd like to see some of these idiots that bash SKYW pilots "ONLINE", come up to me and or any of my fellow crew members call me SCAB to my face in an airline terminal or better yet in an alleyway on the side of the hotel! If you got the balls go for it you little punkass bitches!!! I jumpseat every week to get to work and sit in the cockpit on Major airline carriers 80% of the time, and all those pilots (who are ALPA)say "Don't vote in ALPA" I have nothing against ALPA! and I'm listening if they are talking but sending me a gay little newsletter every 2 weeks and expecting me to join the ranks of the WANKERS I see on this forum is not going to win me over!!!! If ALPA is so great then sell us on it don't try to get me to join ALPA feeling sorry for ASA and Comair pilots. Their management is the reason they are losing flying not us!!! Funny how the F@$#s on this forum don't whine about Mesa getting Delta flying or Air Whisky getting USAir flying. And they won't say crap about it if ASA takes the 12 crj700s in CVG.

Fact is: SKYW Inc. owns ASA and all of its equipment! none of those airplanes are "yours" and none of them are Skywest Airlines. They can do what they want with them.

The Scrubs at Skyworst dont care about the override. Most of them have only been out of instructing for six months. It's not about how much money they are making now, it is about how their pay will double in another six months when they upgrade. SAD!!

Uhm, wanting a fast upgrade to captain is sad? Wanting your pay to double in six months is wrong? Wow, folks. I had no idea I was suppose to low-ball my potential earnings & PIC time so that the rest of the industry feels better about sitting reserve for 2 years with a 7 year captain upgrade. God forbid a hard working flight instructor have the opportunity to grow with a good airline. It's not a perfect airline, and apparently it has to be in the eyes of the rest of the industry, but it's a good airline. Scrubs? We're not all fortunate enough to be born with 30,000 hours turbine i guess. I'm pretty sure you're going to see more low-timers, or "scrubs" as you call them, at Comair and ExpressJet. Their minimums are 600/100. SkyWest is 1000/100. And let's not forget the 300 hour jet pilots at Pinnacle and Mesa! Grow up and welcome to the regionals.

skywest=scabs

Replacement workers at wages busting the union wages, 700/900 flying at 50 seat rates is a joke, this is bad for the whole industry and needs to be changed.

sky-pup,
I know airtime personally, I don't think you want to meet him in the alley of the hotel. Unless your a UFC fighting champ.

The pay package will pass easily. Plain and simple!

I have not met anyone who says they voted yes. Why would anyone want to lock in 1% through 2010, and nothing for the bro? No cost of living since 2001, while inflation averages 3% per year. And now its 1% just this year, nothing more until after 2010(maybe).
