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?

 

[FishandFly]

Merry Christmas again Skywest.

Sincerely,

ASA/ALPA

 

[Papa Woody]

Yeah....and a tube of K-Y

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

 

[Spicepilots]

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!

 

[BoilerUP]

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:

But its not struck work so you will have to settle for maggots.

 

[scarlet]

LIARS too, ALPA had 1400-15oo people that told the ALPA folks out there that they would vote yes, and then only 900 people voted total! I call them pussie* that can not even vote!!!

Enjoy your careers at skywest- You ever wonder why there are so many lifers at Skywest? DL takes 2 or 3 ever so often, try hundreds from ASA...uummhh

I think you mean "Scab is too harsh".

And BTW, most maggots are not parasitic, so they do not have a host to live off of, as in their host.

So pick a better analogy champ.

Maybe ringworm or better yet, Toxoplasma gondii. (Does that make ALPA or management the cat?)

Signed,

Your favorite maggot (who voted yes, BTW),

PS I've made a new rule and it's a fun one (for me). I'm going to start correcting the grammar and spelling of people who spew out un-intelligent, un-informed non-sense. At least Anne Coulter isn't confused about homophones.

 

[outtahere]

Well I sure am glad you corrected me there, or their, or well darn I can't spell, but at least I have the God given sense to work for a Union carrier and try to make this a better career for even the non-union maggots out there, or their, whatever.

So you're saying god spoke to you and she said "Don't work for SkyWest" ?

I wouldn't disclose that at your next medical.

How about you go outside and play "hide-and -go-fu<k-yourself...."

 

[No.W.]

Another who voted "yes" and is personally a little pissed off at the lack of professionalism from the professionals I wanted to join in union representation. I still believe it's the best way, but you idiots on FI aren't helping me convince those I fly with. Am I looking for a new place to work? More now than I used to be. So don't flame me...I'm a little frustrated at both those who didn't vote and those on this forum who mis-represent the true professional. I'm sorry if you are pissed. I understand your frustration(believe me, I do), but it's not helping when you express it in a childish way on a public forum.
