SkyWest hiring 16 First Officers

[BHopper88]

Actually NO we did not have any people in class before they canceled the class... Now they did cancel the class less than a week before it was to start but again it wasnt like they were a week or so into class before it was canceled...

I hope it goes EMB poolies first then go to ASA or ual furloughs.. then open hiring

The UAL furlough deal is only for increased flying for UAL .

Actually it's for 5 pilots for any aircraft operated by Skywest for United with a seating capacity greater than 50 seats, not increased flying.

Correct. We were good on the deal until we took these last 14 700's.

It also states that any UAL pilot the subsequently quits will be replaced by another eligible furloughed pilot as new hire positions become available in the normal course of business.

Maybe if SKYW pilots had acted as part of the team, and voted ALPA in, they would have something better. As things are, they have no say at all.

-Oh well-You guys saved 2%..... Buy a new skateboard to go with yer spikey hair and I-Pod.
-Congrats.

It's not flow back. They come in at the BOTTOM of the seniority list. Last time they got 2nd year pay to start, the difference was supposedly paid by United.

You can re-interview after 6 months, make sure to re-apply....

It wasn't an agreement. It was a condition handed down by UAL as part their feed contracts. All UAX carriers have the same thing I believe, unless they have a very old contract.

And they come in at the bottom of this list, as FO's. No left seat, no super seniority so it shouldn't really matter to the SKW pilots...unless you are trying to get somebody a job there.
