SkyWest First Year FO Pay Raise

[Missed Approach]

I heard today SkyWest first year pilots are getting a $4 pay increase. Can anyone confirm this?

Merry Christmas again Skywest.

Sincerely,

Not happening. They are using the money to buy Horizon Airlines.

We're going to have to; how else are we going to get 500 new pilots next year, regardless of whether or not we finally lower our mins? It's getting harder and harder to find someone with 1000/100, and we can't keep poaching from other airlines forever.

Probably the only reason I'm not at Skywest is first year pay. I'm at Eagle now (picture rats running from a sinking ship) and would love to be based at home (DEN) but can't stomach losing nearly half my pay. Hopefully this is true.

Actually, it's not going to be just Horizon. It's a package deal, with Alaska thrown in there.

That's right, SkyWest is going to buy the entire Alaska Air Group!

That's right, SkyWest is going to buy the entire Alaska Air Group!

And then Comair, then Air Wisconsin, then single-handedly finance the Delta/UAL merger, and then TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

You really are clueless!

Mesa still has quite a few pilots we haven't poached yet They should be able to keep skywest supplied for at least a year imp:
