Now that SKW has different rates...

What will the tools on FI.com have to bitch about now????

Maybe that your 70 rates suck.

Exactly.

You don't have different rates, you have a credit for flying the 700/900

And for Captains it amounts to about $2-4 per hour. What a joke.

Without union protection who is going to enforce those rates?

Just like at every other regional out there!

 

[DenverCrashpad]

The "hourly" rates still suck but SkyWest people are paid better than just about every other regional I know. Horizon guys, for example, have a higher rate but can't get more than (I believe...), 92 hours in a 4 or 5 week bid. Sorry, but that doesn't add up in the end...

Do you have any fukcing clue how ignorant you are?
You've got senior FO's at Horizon that make more than SkyWest captains.
You will work several more days in any given time period to come close to what Horizon makes.

Seen what Express Jet makes?

Have you compared the 900 rates to Mesa's 900 rates.

You're down there with Mesa, GoJet's, and other bottom feeders.

Grow a pair. Find some pride.

How are Skywest pilots supposed to fight for raises when pilots like Comair's and Mesaba's are voting in paycuts?

 

[imacdog]

Possibly becasue SKYW is far from bankrupt. Comair and Mesaba are fighting in court to keep what they have, or at least not have everything thrown out. Meanwhile, SKYW is making record profits and expanding at a record pace, and you guys vote in a 1% pay raise (well, 0.0% for the hard-working EMB drivers). That 25 cent raise for the new hires (still 20% less than many regionals) is impressive too. Congratulations.

Probably that it took ASA's ALPA to get YOUR rates changed. Without SKYW buying ASA and the negotiations we are in you would still be on your old rates.
