Coex to Skywest

[Vorleron]

Yea, well if that gets your cookies nice and iced up...

I was pwop about 50 and now I'm 100 something. A lot of the CAL guys that got furloughed also got furloughed from Express and are ahead of the Express furloughs. There is a good chance a lot of the Express people who qualify wont even get the chance to go!

Especially if there are only 36-45 positions. Not "whining" just spreading the "CAL go backwards plan LOVE."

V-

Yeah, there are about 25 CAL guys that have been thrown in the mix. I went from a 16 to 40, so is was 24 to be exact. The good news is that these CAL guys didn't want to flowback to XJT, so there won't be too many who will take a position with SKYW. These guys could be getting Capt. pay and nice looking schedules flying the line at XJT, they won't take 1st year pay and a reserve schedule at SKYW. I don't think your PWOP number will change more than a few numbers when it's all said and done.

As for the pilots headed to SKYW. The MOU specifically states "total number of pilots required to perform this flying", and that's exactly how many of us will go. At this point, we don't know how quickly we'll be trained though. Let's wait and see what the week brings. Phones should be ringing by Friday.

Good point. Why would a furloughed CAL person want to actually go to Skywest and WORK for 1/3rd less than unemployment would pay?

(No offense to Skywest people or pay... )
