Everything is eerily quiet at SkyWest, Inc. ASA quickly ironed out a contract with the F/As. Is a big announcement on the horizon? Wait I see, I guess.

 

[flyboyzz1]

what does ASA ironing out a contract with the F/As have to do with it? Just wondering what you're thought process is.

It just seems that just before a big announcement, SkyWest likes to make sure all their ducks are in a row first. It's like the calm before the storm.

Nothing to see here..............move along!

Exactly. It's just typical of him, T. Every response from XPOO is just about the same 'ole, same 'ole. I'm HERE!!! I'm HERE!!!

BTW, the contract hasn't exactly been "ironed out", either. There's lots of holes in it, and not much of a pay increase. Rigs like the Pilots, only 1% of a pay increase, a $200 a year uniform allowance and PBS. The rigs have holes in them like with the Pilots, and the PBS is there unlike the Pilots. The main reason why the Pilot TA passed was due to the signing bonus and lots of Pilots leaving. Most who voted yes are either already gone or just started. The FAs don't have that problem.

Miniature pay raises for the FA's...

ALSO, there are several, several references to different domiciles in their preliminary summary....

Hmmmm.

Sounds like they need to wrap up the dispatcher contract then!

Dude,

I guess you took a survey of 1700 pilots?
I forget the exact spread, but I recall about 80% or better voted yes?
That would put me and you near the top of seniority, since I'm still here, and I think you are too?

I've moved up about 200 numbers in the past two years I think, and I'm working on six years.

If 80% or better voted yes, or even 51% voted yes, we have not had 50% attrition since the vote.

It's statements like this that shows the depth to which people think things through, with regard to our contract, company, and virtually any other issue.

Long Time Gone is the smartest person on the Regional Forum. I can't believe he would goof a number like that so blatantly.
