That's why he made ten times that in stock options. It makes up the difference between poor RJ captain, and professional clown.

For some reason, I don't believe Bryan Labrecque makes the same as an RJ Captain, not counting stock options... Makes you wonder...

There is a very good chance things have been shifted during negotiations after he was "caught" in that RGT for getting +/- a quarter million dollars in stocks. That website in particular was referenced and he flat out denied ever getting that stock. About 45 minutes later he came back and admitted it, claiming he didn't know....he was on vacation! Yeah, like "we just gave him almost a million dollars, but he's on vacation.....let's wait to tell him." Are you F*&(^(g kidding me!?!?!?!?

I expect that number is from Skywest's SEC filings for 2005. It only covers his pay for the period after the sale.

They pay him a lot less than the Skywest honchos because he only has one wife to support.

Haha! I think it's hilarious! Maybe JA is that guy on that HBO series with three wives using a hardware store chain instead of an airline? Just kidding.

VOTED IN FAVOR!
 
Thanks to Delta paying the difference in higher fuel costs, there are management bonuses to go around for everyone, except the SkyWest pilots who will fly CR9s for 50 seat wages......


Bye Bye--General Lee
 
Everyone but pilots get management bonuses--I did not know that. Sorry, it's the malconstructed 767-400/777 writing that threw me for a loop. Gotta go, have to catch my Diamand Eclipse for a short hop over to a small airport--I'll brag about it, nonetheless, to the others at the field if they are disinterested. Incidentally, for those who may care, I don't get paid anything less to fly the 2-seater than I do the 50-seater. GL must be such a pleasure to fly with, at least in his own noggin...

Bye - Bye,
Captain Doc

Hey General, How did you vote on that contract again? I thought so.

Are you or were you faced with a possible liquidation? Is this in the same league? Was a judge breathing down your neck? Were gas prices going up towards the moon? Was any of that happening when you decided to give the same rates for ANYTHING up to 99 seats? I didn't think so. You were worried that you might not get that magical 1000 PIC if SkyWest decided to get rid of United planes, which would not have happened since you owned the United West Coast feed.

You guys caved because you wanted growth at the expense of the regional industry.(everyone will try to copy you now) We were fighting to save an airline overrun by incompetent management. We were here at DL before them, and will be here as they depart. You have no clue what you are talking about.

I voted the correct way at the time, and I stand by it. You voted (or can you actually vote there) and screwed the whole regional side. Enjoy that.


Bye Bye--General Lee
 
For the record I didn't vote for the 50-99 seat pay. I thought it was wrong then and still do. In fact I still haven't flown the 70 for that reason. I think the reason it passed was partly because our pilot group was naive enough to think we would be able to renegotiate before we had too many 70 seaters on the property and because the west coast brasilia drivers didn't want to lose their flying. I won't argue that the SkyWest pilot group made a huge mistake. However the SkyWest pilots are not the only ones to blame. In my opinion this all started because mainline groups didn't have the foresight to keep RJs off the regional property. In fact mainline pilot groups should have been up in arms the first time a Delta, United, etc. logo was ever painted on an aircraft that wasn't flown by mainline pilots. I understand some of your frustration and probably agree with you on some points, but PLEASE stop blaming SkyWest for everything. It's not all our fault. And I'll try not waste any fuel tomorrow because I KNOW, I KNOW Delta pays for it.

Was I fun to fly with? I had the highest attrition rate (or retirement rate) for Captains who flew with me. Nearly 100% of them retired quickly after flying with me. They must have finally flown with the best and couldn't take it anymore.......... Every Delta FO owes me big time for the seniority jump......TIC...:)

The airplanes would have come here regardless of how the vote went. Do you really think if it had been voted down, SkyWest's mgt would have gone to United and said 'Sorry. We won't fly them for you. Our pilots voted no".

When are people going to realize that pilots do not decide what airplanes an airplane operates or where they fly them?

C'mon now Gobi. If you were a pilot at a legacy you wouldn't want one of your squadron buddies to have to start his airline career in anything smaller than a 737 or an Airbus, would you?

The only reason Canadair even built a 50 seater was scope clauses. There would have never been a need for scope if the legacy pilots had simply demanded that any and all flying conducted on behalf of their employer was performed by pilots on their seniority list. Those scope clauses had to be negotiated because the contracts used to require flying to be performed by pilots on the list.
