It is out. All I can say is WOW. What an insult that they even put this to a vote.

 

[viper548]

It's about a 2-3% raise across the board. New hire pay goes to $22.

 

[Flyer1015]

Someone willing to share? What kind of rates are we talkin?

 

[difete]

1.8% increase for EMB120 drivers, with a 1% increase for COLA over the next 3 years as I understand the proposal.

 

[viper548]

Very similar to ASA's rates. The new payscale includes the E170/E175 at the same rate as the CRJ 700/900

 

[viper548]

The payscale is also extended to 20 years. -200 Captains top out at $100/hr

Gee, why would you possibly want a union with those wonderful wages? Enjoy that extra Burrito Surpreme you will now be able to buy with that raise.

YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU DESERVE, YOU GET WHAT YOU NEGOTIATE.

 

[EBE]

It really is a whopping, stinking pile of SH#%. But I'm not surprised.

Not as similar as you think.

 

[Cardinal]

Poetic justice for the 67%ers.

Couldn't agree more. Hurry, Hurry!!! Put your app. in to SKYW. So you can roll in this pile of crap.

Disgusting.

 

[Gobi Gred]

How the hell am I supposed to buy that new HDTV I want with this raise? Seems to me nothing more than creative accounting going on.

 

[Flyerdan]

Maybe we should really piss off management and DEMAND a pay cut. That will show them!

Being the highest paid regional is a lot like being the tallest midget at the circus. At this point, my real worry is what happens when all the majors find dance partners... and decide that they don't all need five (or ten) regional partners and a bazillion rjs. Great pay is only great when you still have a job.

Not sure what you mean, but if you work at SkyWest, your job is still in jeopardy...it's called working at an airline. Of course, if SkyWest furloughs...they could furlough out of seniority, or by base, or whatever suits them...one more reason I wish we had union representation. Thanks 67%ers. You're right, at that point, pay doesn't matter, but I think strong representation still would.

Those damn bazillions and their rjs!

The majority are getting exactly what they deserve. I just feel sorry for the minority that had a brain and voted YES.

 

[SkyNation]

how much of a raise would we be getting right now if we had votes YES? that is, after the 1.9% we'd lose.
