How do negotiations work at SKYW?

[FishandFly]

Could the SKYW guys clarify this for me...

Say you vote this pay-raise down and the company refuses to budge.

You refuse to budge and the company refuses to budge. What happens then?

It's basically take it or leave it. If it's voted down management will shuffle the money around and come out with a new package. Last time I believe it was a 1.0% raise for everyone. It was voted down then they came back with 1.2% for the jet and 0 for the EMB. That time it passed.

"How do negotiations work at SKYW?"

It doesn't!

"You refuse to budge and the company refuses to budge. What happens then?"

The last best offer is imposed.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

we take whatever we're given. after 36 years, that process has resulted in SkyWest pilots getting a better combination of pay, benefits, career advancement, stability and prospects for the future than just about anyone else at the regional level.

couldn't help myself, either

Yep!

They keep voting down alpa and SkyWest will keep buying union companies and screwing the other pilots. They don't want to merge the lists, that's why the SkyWest folk vote down alpa.

Great growth and business plan there from a MANAGEMENT standpoint.

Yeah nation- take it! "Who's yo daddy?", take it! Take it like the good little beeyotch that you are! You must be KB's first. (He'll not forget you ). Why are you on F. I. ? Surely with the union drive over the company's not paying you to sell their kool aid anymore.

I thought you were on my ignore list. Oh well, that's an easy fix.

 

[cfi_greg]

Bla, Bla Bla. The union drive is over so can we go one thread without blaming #hit on ALPA or not ALPA.

 

[Bako Cap]

My goodness, I bet the flames go at least 5 pages.

I know you can't help yourself. That is part of the problem.:laugh:

Like I've said, you can make that argument but others can make a good argument that its not so. The point is that with Skywests 35 years of success and $750 million in the bank and making $150 million a year, you SHOULD be thee undisputed, hands down, no doubt about it, best airline to work for without having animosity always pointed towards you. And while you're at it, help the rest of the industry to boot.

But alas...

The union drive may be over but organizing never stops!

Newsflash....it already is, Steven. Thanks for your concern from your ExpressJet cockpit. What is going to happen when SkyWest takes your company's Delta flying out of LAX?

You are one of the very biggest tools ever to hit this board-jackass! Just give it a year or two and see where you are at. What they give, they can (and will) take away just as quickly. Just give them some time.

BTW-Don't expect any help or sympathy from all your fellow "brother" pilots around here you stuck a chubby to. I wouldn't expect preferential hiring anywhere else when the bottom falls out.
-Good luck with that-toobucket!

Two different operating certificates. Why would the seniority merge?

Is that the best you can do? I love it when people who can't come up with something intelligent to say just attack with name calling!

Great, here goes another "The Sky is Going to Fall Soon, You'll See" thread.
