New SkyWest pay proposal....anyone?

[Steveair]

Spoke with one of the main SAPA guys the other night. Jack for Brasilia folks is the detail that I came away with. Glad we count for something...

I'm wouldn't be surprised that there's nothing in there for the Bro guys & gals. The airplane, thanks to the FAA / Embraer, is nearly worthless now with all the weight restrictions. It's time for the Bro to go... at least in SLC and DEN. On the other hand, if there's no new "turbo-prop" rate, that's an issue.

Boy, wouldn't a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT be nice right about now?

Peace.

whats the point. vote alpa in, pay freez (during negotiations), 4 years later you have already upgraded and moved on. AND ALPA IS STILL "NEGOTIATING" THE FIRST CONTRACT. uhhhhmm, thanks but no thanks

buuuu bye

Because any pay increases you have under your current agreement stay in place during negotiations. If JA tries to circumvent that, he is in violation of RLA law. He does not want to do that. And it does not stop upgrades either.

ALPA does have it's problems, but you Skywest 'no way' guys are truly ignorant about how the system works. Every arguement that has been put forth about 'pay freezes' or 'no upgrades' or 'pay cuts' etc.. are just plain wrong.

Do some real, objective research first, before coming to a decision, not what a bunch of hotheads in your respective crewrooms has to say.

Peace.

..do to the confidentiality clause.

Yeah, right.

Is that like double secret probation.

The fun part will be watching SAPA leadership try and put lipstick on this pig!

Isn't "SAPA" Management over there?

They have to manage your expectations. That's why they won't put it out to the pilots.

 

[www.]

It's time for the Bro to go...

What is a "Bro"? Is that the thing that Frank and Kramer invented?

...and that's different from the current condition at SkyWest how??? Might as well take the contract and ALPA benefits also.

A check airman on SAPA told us it was basically this:

1% base increase to -200 rates
5% further increase for a -700/900 override
No increase for Bro pilots
No retro pay
Override is only paid for actual 700/900 flight time (a couple exceptions) and will only be paid IF you break daily AND monthly guarantee.
4 year "duration"

Yes they are.

Though acting under the guise of pilot representatives. They are actually just a way for management to implement and disseminate bad news to the pilots.

Exactly.

BTW, wtf is up with that? No raise for the Bro guys/gals? \

Seeing that you fly 8 legs a day in what sounds like a death trap, you all should get the biggest raise.

Not as cut a dried as you make it sound. North American pilots suffered a pay cut after voting in IBT, this was a company wide effort to reduce cost and was upheld in court. ATLAS pilots suffered loss of profit sharing program after voting in ALPA. They sued and won after arguing that they had been singled out as an employee group that had been targeted. Could go either way.

Oh, most pilots that have flown the "Brasilia" call it a Brasilia.
