As soon as the union drive is over, reserve staffing will fall further and you will not for a very long time be able to give away diddly. Just wanted you to know that your ability to drop right now is directlly tied to a union vote in progress. Thanks for listening.

Oh one other thing, the "no base closures" hurrah from BH can be lumped under the same feel good umbrella. Lastly, if you are new, ask yourself, in all of your time at skywest how often have you heard so much "communication" from the top with tag lines at the bottom of each message "our door is always open, we are all ears, we will always do what is best for you, dont you think the people who have been running skywest for 33 years+ know what is best, not some outside evil force, we love you and our door is always open or you can call if you want.

PS- We love you and our door is always open if we didnt say it earlier!"

Contast this will with pretty much all other times.

Can anyone drop a trip.

 

[Flip]

As soon as the vote is over, they will announce the base closures in the following order. MRY, SBP, PDX and SAN. All gone by Dec 2008

Thats almost certain with them trading in EMBs for more 70's......no brainer

Torque, I don't know who you are, but I want you to run the SkyWest MEC when ALPA gets voted in...

Ditto. Good posts right on the money!!

 

[XPOO]

Torque writes more ALPA propoganda than the whole SkyWest OCC combined. Hitler would be proud.

 

[Weasil]

Hitler would be proud.

why would you bring Hitler into this?

At least someone isn't afraid of telling the truth. Management is not our friend.

What makes you say this? What makes you think it will be any more difficult to drop a trip next month than it was a week ago? For what it's worth, I haven't been able to drop a trip in sked plus since it came out...

I appreciate all your input so far, and I think you are making a difference swaying the undecideds, just want to keep things honest here....

If there are reserves available, yes, you can drop a trip and it is immediately assigned to a reserve. SkedPlus will tell you if there are "minimum reserves" available and will deny the drop if reserve pilots get down to X amount...

It's really nothing different than we had already, it's just a different program that puts everything together to be more user friendly..

why? what would our company culture be like if malcontents, complainers, and those who feel that the world owes them something via entitlements were in those meetings with BH, CC, et al?

if you think things suck at SkyWest now (I don't), wait until our culture is infected with this attitude and all of it's inherent divisiveness.

oh, but at least then it'll be official, right?

 

[amcnd]

Man you guys or gals are so negitive. SkyWest is great compaired to my former airlines. go work for Eagle or Mesa for a couple of years then come back to SkyWest, and see if your attitude changes.. It will!!!

Hitler and Propoganda go hand in hand, kinda like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Throwing fear into the face of the weak-minded pilot, who can't decide for himself, that his/her whole world will come crashing down if he/she doesn't give money to someone to represent him/her constitutes a very good Hitler comparison if you ask me.

But more than that, its just nice to know someone can see me. Someone has to keep a fair balance to these overly-exagerated ALPA scare tactic threads. I guess I'm the mercinary.

amcnd,

all you care about is your quick upgrade. even though you have experience under an ALPA regime, your thoughts and opinions don't count, because you don't see the whole picture. wait 'til you've been here for a few years, then you'll be as crusty, cranky, leftist, anti-capitalist as the rest of us.
