It's not a joke to many Skywest pilots. They're in ORD spreading the "we are mainline and you guys are feeders" to xjet pilots.
Keep drinking the kool aid and coat-tailing, but you're not main line and the pay and work rules you enjoy are the result of the xjet pilots' sacrifice and resolve in negotiations, which have been sometimes hostile. By hostile I refer to 5 years of punishment by the company during contract 07 negotiations. Hopefully the current negotiations will go smoothly. But no matter how they go, in the end you'll get get $1 more and another glass of kool aid.
You're welcome.
Doubt it. The guys in ORD don't like this place, guys in SLC maybe.
This sounds like an old topic that gets posted every year...
