Management's proposal was just released. They are offering one rate for all equipment (Turbojets), from 40-100 seats, and they are LOW! (below industry average). An insincere thank you to the group from SLC!!
 
Well, vote no then...
 
Not good!

JUST SAY NO!

There, that will fix it :puke:

Now there's a great idea.... I don't think we get a vote in Chapter 11! Why are we the only one's that are supposed to say no, anyway? Why has everyone else caved since 2001? (and don't give me the 9/11 excuse).

Well with rates that low you can almost guarantee you will underbid everyone else in the DCI system! So, you might actually see 90-100 seaters. Sorry to hear you folks are getting this $hit shoved in your face...........
Good Luck

Relax, slip into something comfortable.

Maybe your thong is on too tight.

Maybe you have period puffiness.

They agreed to fly 70 seaters for 50 seat rates though, didn't they?

I did not, nor did a majority of the pilots on property at this time. SkyWest has hired almost a thousand pilots since that vote was taken, out of a total pilot group of only about 2,200. Many lessons have been learned since then. Many things have changed. The last vote overwhelmingly in the negative was hopefully only the beginning.

Best of luck to you guys in your current battle, though.

We all need it...

Didn't you agree to a pay freeze with the assuption of getting more jets? Pot calling the kettle black?
 
Don't feel like the only ones. I'm sure our management will want us to fly our ARJ's for 50 seat rates, and our Saabs for Metroliner rates. Of course that is with no work rules. Guess we all are in for a rough ride.

Yeah, 4 years after everyone else in the DCI system agreed to underbid us. What should we do, continue to tell Mgmt. to pack sand..... Alone? Get real.

My sentiments to you guys as well. I know we're not alone...

Uh, the ASA pilot group was approached with an offer of a pay freeze and we told management to go pound dirt. If ASA was able to win the RFP which they did, which I am sure DCI knew where those airplanes were going anyway, the ASA pilot group gave nothing!... I do wish you all the best.

You won the RFP (along with SKYW and CHQ) because you were cheaper than we were, regardless how you voted on the freeze. It's that simple.

Sounds like poor management to me, and I thought ours was bad, still not Skywest's fault. anyway good luck to you folks just the same.
