Rates still better than SkyWest with the new deal?
No. Although very close across the board only Comair 50 FO is slightly higher. 50 CA, 70 CA, and 70 FO are either identical or slightly lower than Skywest according to the comparison provided.
I agree that ALPA negotiators did about all they could and protected the majority of the pilots at Comair which are 50 seat guys (I use the term protect losely, 8% paycut as opposed to higher cuts the company had proposed). However what really hurts are the 70 and 70+ rates. They are really, really bad, thanks to the "industry average", ie Skywest and Mesa. That being said, at least there are scales, there is a 50,70, and 70+ scale for captains and fo's, when the company wanted only three, a 50 CA, 70+ CA and one FO scale.
