Life's horrible at Skywest.... we're destroying the industry... oh no... Us regional pilots are our own worst enemies. Union or non-union, we all need to support each other. NOBODY at Skywest is happy about flying 90 seaters for 50 pay. That agreement was meant to secure our United flying at the time while competing against Mesa. Not to fly 90 seaters. Just for the record, I did vote that stupid thing down. We set a precendent and now we're hosed and I'm sorry it's putting pressure on the rest of the regionals. Generally, our pilot group thought that we'd get a split rate or higher blended rate after the 18 months. But we're not the evil Skywest who's goal it is to take down the rest of the industry. I'm on the fence with the union and have been for a while, but union or non-union, we need to get all of our pilots on the same page.
