any America West rumors??

80 x 12 = 960 per year.
217000 divided by 960 = 226 per hour? sounds high unless they get a helluva perdiem check. ( but honestly I dont know what they get)

Embdrvr,

This isn't a thing you should be joking about. Sure, expansion is nice, but look what the management of Skywest is trying to pull. Comair and ASA will try to follow if Skywest succeeds. Jobs at the Majors will be harder to get when they start hiring again someday, and the pay is falling at the regional level. The pay at the LCC's aren't exceptional either, although Southwest's is good. But, atleast they will be flying the 90 seaters to SEA, where they should go get some tasty chowder.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this but I've been working a lot. I would have thought that the tone of my post insinuated something other than the way you perceived it. The current 90 seat payscale at Mesa blows chunks. I'd rather see those planes operated by a mainline carrier rather than be flown for those kind of rates.

EMBDRVR,

I've been working a lot too, we've been really full lately on Mainline, just like you guys I guess. Yeah, I hope the rates don't fall on those 90 seaters or we will have lower rates on our eventual 100 seaters. Fred reid said something about A318's or 737-600's etc. We want the rates to stay higher too.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Hey Bigsky,

I should have given a little more detail on pay rates.

We actually get paid per trip...(dont get me started on that subject. I barely understand it myself.). 80 flt. hours is around 100 "trips" for the month. 12 yr. Ca pay is 173.00 per trip. Plus around 500$ per mo. perdiem

No scope to protect mainline + low wages etc at Mesa = well, you get the idea... Can you see it now?....Parker/Ornstein in 2004.
