So which is it jerkweed? You're constantly talking about how SkyWest pilots are whores and talking about their low wages. Now you claim by getting more money they somehow screwed the ASA pilots? What was going on with negotiations the years before SkyWest bought ASA?
Maybe you should stick to something you know something about.
SkyWest pilots are still making less than they did 7 years ago.
No raise for the turboprop pilots so I don't know WTF you're talking about when you say they got more money.
1% for the CRJ-200 - That doesn't do much to get pilots caught up with inflation or to partly compensate for the concessions taken.
A tiny override for up to 99 seats that only applies to block hours flown in that airframe.
Total value of package is about the same as the 1.5% across the board raise that was passed up a year ago.
NO COLA raises opon approval or anytime in the next 4 years
No QOL or work rule improvements. Recent penstroke policy changes are worsening compensation
900 rates below Mesa
18 month TA was expired for over 2 years but not a dime of retro.
And the only reason they even got a raise offered is the union drive was starting up.
Now how does this effect ASA pilots? Quite simple. By approving the recent pay deal and insuring that SKYW pilots remain below Express Jet, Comair and Horizon wage growth for ASA pilots is also inhibited. The ASA 50 seat rates could remain below SkyWest and there will be pressure to adopt a single rate with tiny overrides. PBS will undoubtedly be a negotiating chip since it saves SGU a ton of money.
