I think you can find rest and duty time limitations in your copy of the FAR's. Turboprops are grandfathered under Pt 135 - IE: 34/7

 

[Burt Reynolds]

I guess I'm really more getting at how much you are paid, i.e. block or better, duty time, etc. as well as reserve rules, time off and such. I'm just trying to make a more informed decision about whether I should jump ship from where I'm at now.

Contracts or CBAs are a pretty boring read, but I don't think that there is anything against/wrong a non-employee or future applicant seeing it, is there?

I suppose I'll just try to extract the information from the search function...

Is the Brazillia really grandfathered under the 135 mins? I thought that you had to be 19 seats or less for that.

Here's part of it...

Section 1.A All pilots hereto agree to fly 70 seat airplanes for 50 seat wages.

I had to laugh at the title of this thread as it is an oxymoron statement. There is no skywest contract.

 

[fsworld]

As an ASA guy Id be interested in seeing it also. Yes we know that there is no "real" contract but there is still a contract that they follow with duty hours, pay, etc.

Skywest doesnt need a contract. management is looking out for the pilots best interest.

 

[Burt Reynolds]

...and thus the reason that I am hesitant to use the search function to get real answers.

 

[skypine69]

block or better. duty time after 12 hours scheduled duty time but only if it is a trip that is published in the bid package and delays due to anything dont count. 3.75 min per day. they do what ever they want to you on reserve. 20 days on per month is max. what else do you want? the posts here may seem juvenile to you but they speak the truth. there are alot of good things about the company, but there are some areas that need some improvement. the "contract" is one of them, it needs to be a real contract.

Hhhhmmmmwwwaaaaahahahahahaha:laugh:

Hey, I was wondering which flavor you're sipping on? That must be some good stuff!!

I'll tell you one thing, skywest management is bar none, the best at making a sizeable portion of labor actually think that "management is looking out for the pilots best interest".

I bet my next bonus check that he was joking

To Actually Answer Your Question...

I guess I'm really more getting at how much you are paid, i.e. block or better, duty time, etc. as well as reserve rules, time off and such. I'm just trying to make a more informed decision about whether I should jump ship from where I'm at now.

Burt,

For pay info, I'd check out airlinepilotcentral.com and look under airlines. Pay rates for nearly everyone are located there.

Pay = Credit, Block, or actual... whichever higher. You get paid for cancelations / mx if you are a line holder only. Days off usually 11-15. Per diem 1.60/hr from report to release. I think duty time is 16 hrs. Most days of a trip run anywhere from 2-3 legs to 4 -5. No vacation for the first year. Reserve rules... you have to be there but PBS (Preferential Bid System), is supposedly changing all this. It will be live at every domicile within a couple months. Min guarantee on the CRJ is 75 hrs/month and I think 85 on the bro. Lines are usually 82-95 hrs avg. credit. You don't get paid more for the 700 and will end up flying both if you're on the jet.

Brasilias are still under 135.

Hope this helps.

But since they don't actually have a union contract, a pay cut and furlough from the top of the seniority list could be imposed tomorrow. Not likely, but possible.

 

[Burt Reynolds]

Thanks for the replies.

Skypine, yeah, it does look like a few things are worse than what I've got now, but some things are better... Seems like I could get more time off where I'm at (AE), but a lot of good that is going to do me when I'm making 35k for the 8th or 9th year. Oh wait, that's going to change any day now... haha

Now I've just got to get them to call back! haha
