SkyWest hiring 16 First Officers

[USC328]

KB just posted that there will 16 upgrades and 16 new hires.

I would hope ASA furlough's are given preference.

 

[EL10]

I would hope they honor the United scope and offer the jobs to UAL furloughs.

 

[Metro752]

what about the guys who were in class, and didn't get to finish?

They'll probably be first then.

As far as im aware we did not have anyone in class. My guess is United/ASA then Pool..

 

[Metro752]

Skywest Airlines did in fact have people in classes that were canceled.

 

[Erlanger]

Unfortunately our agreement is to hire UAL furloughies first.

 

[Bako Cap]

I would hope SkyWest Inc.'s furlough's are given preference.

Hopefully I fixed it.

I am not sure if the UAL furghough deal was with SkyWest or SkyWest Inc. The powers that be have also not stated if the increase is with UAL, DAL, or SkyWest branded (aka AirTran partnership) flying. The UAL furlough deal is only for increased flying for UAL and UAL has been passing up SkyWest on the last couple of RFP's. I would doubt if the increase flying is for UAL because we already do TOO much of their portfolio.

 

[EV120]

Fair enough...

 

[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.

This agreement is total BS. This sounds like a one way flow to me...who came up with this crap!

 

[amcnd]

Ua alpa!!

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.

Um, it's say they are hiring 16. How many ASA/United furloughs do you think there are? 15? I don't think it would get to the pool.............
There are over 130 Skywest Inc pilots on furlough.

 

[Flyerdan]

I'm not sure we want those mainline pilots. They seem to have a pretty poor track record lately. I just hope they get trained up to our regional standards.

Why the F is ALPA sending their pilots to a non union company?

It's funny how things work backwards but not forwards.

Could it be that the union doesn't care?

 

[Jon Rivoli]

I flew with many furloughed United pilots last time around, they were a great group and I would be happy to fly with them again.

A non-union job is better than ... anybody?, anybody? ... the answer is no job.

Buehler?... Buehler?... Buehler?

Isn't working for a non union company a little scabish?

 

[Metro752]

No, working for an alter-ego outfit is!

What if it's union and industry leading pay, and with the thumbs up from ALPA?

Industry leading pay with a union?

Turkey bacon, and lipstick on a pig?

You worked for GoJets, and you didn't have a mainline seniority number.

You're screeeeeeeeeewed.

You only have yourself to blame. Sucker.
