Keep flying for 50 seat rates! Oh, that's right, you won't vote in the union for a differential pay rate. No better than Mesa.

SkyWest doesn't fly for 50 seat rates. They have a 700/900 block hour override. Airlinepilotcentral.com

Let me axe you a question! I fly for a ALPA Carrier, and I have watched our union sign off on BS contracts and watched my 1200.00 bucks a year go to a piece of crap magazine!

With that said, Mesa is ALPA! They have one of the worst work rules in the industry!! Jeez, thanks ALPA! You hear Mesa folks on here cryin and complaining about there contract! That along with all of us giving them crap all the time.

You don't hear too many SkyWest folks bitchin and complaining! Many of them say they get close to 100hrs of Pay credit a month! Hmmmm, Okay..

Bottom line is if you fly for an airline and your happy with your pay and work rules................... then FUK ALPA!!!

If there majority of pilots are happy, then I myself say why do you need ALPA!!
Tell me one good thing ALPA has done for us regional pilots???

Yea, I myself have said smart remarks about the skywest folks flying 900's for 50 seat rates. But if there workrules are good, and the company treats them well (which hardly no regional can say) then screw it... I would keep alpa away also!!

Let my bashing begin!!

Wow, you are right, a WHOPPING $3-4 override!

I don't think the override amounts to $3-4

I believe its more like 2% which for a 18 year captian that amounts to $1.88

Can you say bend over and take it?

And their so dumb they don't even know their getting fuked

I stand corrected!

Name a regional airline that isn't getting fuked.... Maybe one or two!

 

[FlyinScotsman]

That is because they are IBT. Their magazine really sucks when they decide to publish one, but they know how to get a good regional contract.

The override is 5%

 

[rtmcfi]

The override is 5%

And in real dollars, what did that get you on your last paycheck?

Assuming you flew the 700 exclusively, I am going to bet it makes you about 75$ every 2 weeks. Am I close?
