Skywest or Air Wisconsin

[Wiskey Driver]

Thank you sir. I was trying to find out if their second and third yr pay was higher than ours but based on the way our contract works and depending on the month you were hired you could get two raises per yr. So second yr for me here is $36.08.

Thanks guys and fly safe

SkyWest pilots also get two raises per year. One is on their anniversary date and the other on the overall scale adjustment date in July. The figures given are from the scale effective this last July and do not reflect anticipated scale adjustments in the coming years.

Ok,

Then it's all the same. I guess the bottom line here is you really can't go wrong either way.

Ok, next question, would you give up 2 years of senoirity at an airline that might make it, or might not to go to Air Wis or Skywest?

 

[Wiskey Driver]

Good question! This game has always been a roll of the dice, you might roll snake eyes or 7/11 but no matter what it's all a crap shoot. I can't speak for Skywest on their hiring picture but as far as we go we will hire 150 by the end of this yr and 350-400 next yr. With that in mind and 2yrs of senority on your present job you should be able to make an intelligent decision. In other words you have at the very least another yr to find out with Airwis...

SkyWest also has 80 more jets to be delivered by the end 0f 2004. Multiply that number times 5 and you get 400 positions that need to be filled. However, we will be retiring more Brasilias and Andy could give you a much better guess as to the hiring numbers.


.....I leave the floor to Andy with his crystal ball!


Good Luck
