Skywest junior captain...

[Skaff]

If you want the Delta RFP to pan out for your company, then you are indirectly hoping that Comair will furlough. You can't have it both ways.

Again, I never said that I wanted the Delta RFP to pan out for SkyWest, I'm just mentioning what I heard is going to happen.

 

[Skaff]

Anyone who voted on that pathetic "pay-increase" or is anti-ALPA at SkyWest does indeed have a disire to put Comair (and ASA) pilots on the street. I'm not saying you fit into those catagories.

Voted...we don't have a union, so what good is the vote. It came down to, do you want the few extra bucks and split the 70 rate, or don't you. We have don't more for our pilot group by splitting the rates than to have said "no thanks". If we did vote in Alpa, it would be to protect our pilot group. Not to fix the problems that Comair or ASA has.

 

[SkyNation]

I'm not pro ALPA, and I don't want to see the RFP go to us. how's that?

I am pro capitalism, pro free market, and pro competition.

signed,
Formerly ALPA, happier now

Well, Hopefully you can maintain your good cheer after OO goes ALPA. Why don't you want the Delta RFP? Wouldn't OOs winning the RFP fall right in line with capatalism, free market economy, and competition?

 

[SkyNation]

ALPA won't come here, at least not soon. only 28% or so of cards have been sent in.

I don't want the RFP just because I don't want OO to get that big. However, if we can compete for it and win it, I understand that.

are you anti free market? competition? capitalism?

Yeah, well, they don't give a hoot about their own pilots either....the Bro guys didn't get $hit. Get this though.....right after that poo proposal passed, the company comes out with a memo asking for ideas from the pilots to be more efficient, etc. Yeah, ok, you gave us no money and now we are going to help you out? NOT!

They're already the highest compensated 30 seat pilots in the country if you look at the entire compensation package. Most dissapointing was the insulting 0.23 cent raise to the first year FOs.

Supposedly only 12 seats filled in the january class of 70+. They're either going to drop mins or raise first year pay.

 

[viper548]

The first class in january was mostly upgrades. The second class will be newhires and transitions, no upgrades. Hopefully they will increase first year pay even more. I hear check airman are growing tired of quality (or lack of) of new FO's and are bidding the -700 to avoid IOE.

Dam n. Brakillya captain came at 1 year (FAT) back when I was there. And people thought that was quick...

Most likely just drop the mins. Every other regional hires with 600/100. (except pinnacle prefers the 250 hour wonder)...so why not skywest?

 

[SSDD]

The problem is that a lot of new hires aren't making it through initial training. Low mins don't do anybody any good. The company wastes a ton of money, and the new hires ends up on the street, and with a failure in his record.

 

[SuperKooter]

If you guys at Skywest vote for alpa expect that upgrade to go up by 2 years at least.

If you really don't want alpa on property do your part to prevent it. Tear down the fliers they put up. Find out who is involved with the drive directly and in-directly and take down their name and information for later use.

 

[Final Approach]

"I hope we don't get any more RFP so the Comair guys can keep their jobs, plus I know my 'brothers and sisters' at both ASA and Comair would do the same for me." RIIIIGGHHTT!

Some of you wouldn't know a moral stand if it bit you in the rear.

Our flat (global) world now requires that we do what's best for "ME" (becuase there is no such thing as loyalty). Sounds bad but the truth is you don't know who you can trust anymore. However I am fairly certain you can't trust management, ALPA, and pilots climbing the ladder at the competition airline.

Truth Hurts, but it's still the truth.

What use would that be?

Don't you have a rock to go crawl back under??? Thnx!

If any of them screwed up in any way the persons in power would know.

I want to understand this, so stop me if I am wrong.

Are you suggesting we become "Hall Monitors" for management? Keep track of fellow pilots who want a union on property and then use that information against them if they make a mistake (like we ALL do)?!?!

Please tell me I misunderstand what you are saying, please.

You have to be kidding.

For the record, I am neither pro-union or anti-union. I will make an informed decision when the time comes. Yes, my card is in.

[capt. megadeth]

Joe...I myself am confused. All I know is that what he says doesn't make sense but if he is saying to use information about a fellow pilot against him/her in the future, that is about one step below a scab IMO.

 

[Mookie]

SuperKooter....

I hope you put that 737 type rating to good use and get the hell out of skywest before someone on the organizing committe finds out who you are...dont' worry, I forwarded your posts too them so they can figure it out themselves.

To all of those who are Alpa out there, this guy does not represent the vast majority of current and/or former skywest pilots out there.

I'm not at skywest nor was I ever. I was at asa and I saw what alpa did there i'm just trying to educate the newbies

which reminds me it looks like the LJ Coalition lost. I guess I was wrong I thought that the pilots at ASA would vote to get their contract done after 4 years. I guess they want to wait another 4 years to get it done.
