SkyWest Pay Proposal Passes

[capt. megadeth]

Now what the hell is everyone gonna bitch about now?????????????????

The fact that 975 pilots sold all the Bro guys and gals down the river. Thanks you selfish F***s!

I can't wait until the RJ Benedict Arnold's see their paycheck difference. I got a $20K raise a few months back and it amounts to about $200 a paycheck....I can't imagine what 1% of Skywest RJ rates will be. Sold your soul for a few bucks! Pathetic!

I understand the EMB guys didnt get anything, but the higher pay aircraft usually does go senior in most airlines so thats not an arguement.

Undoubtedly one of the dumbest posts (except for all of mine) I have seen on this site.

Well, the good news is:
1. SAPA can negotiate improvements at ANY TIME.
2. The Company policy is to "review" pay on an annual basis
3. Atleast as of now the company can still negotiate directly with their pilots, instead of someone in Washingon D.C. (Herndon)

Ok, the 2nd dumbest post I have seen on FI in a day!


ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do me a favor, put down the crackpipe man! I hope you are being sarcastic.

If I see one of those SAPA fools, I will give them a piece of my mind. I hope they never show up at UPS.

So no override for reserves or lineholders that don't hit 75 hours of block?
Is there a split rate for FOs in the 70/90?

Reserves will get the over ride for any time they flew the 700/900 and go over the 75 hour mark. Line holders I believe will get the over ride for any amount of time they actually fly the 700/900. There is a split rate for the FOs. Certainly not the best deal however it's something to tide us over til next year.

Easy there mega. A lot of SAPA folk out there are good guys and gals trying to do everything they can for the pilot group. But unfortunately, the only leverage they have after they say "please" is to say "pretty please." I think efforts should be concentrated on the ALPA drive rather than mother effing eachother. Hopefully this will be the last straw. It was for me.

This is the payscale I came up with from the package I saw- The 70/90 goes up 1% every year til 2010. Over ride is 5% of the RJ base rate, 6% in 2008, 7% in 2009, 8% in 2010.

Sarcasm is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound[1] -- stating the opposite of the intended meaning, e.g. using "that's amazing" to mean "that's awful". It is used in a humorous manner, often harshly, and is expressed through vocal intonations such as over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words. Use of sarcasm is sometimes viewed as an expression of concealed anger[2]

Honest question, if you are at UPS now why does this concern you so much?

Fiancee is at Skywest and some friends too.

BTW, $0.45 an hour wouldn't make or break us but it's the principle of the matter, know what I mean?

 

[Minimaniac]

Yea! for the 1% pay raise. Combine that with an annual inflation rate of greater than 1%, and you all just voted in a net pay decrease. Good job.

Ok now I understand. $.45 is not much but I think it has to be done as a building block. As the industry keeps getting strong keep getting the little raises to add up to a big one. I expect there to be COLA, raise for Brasillia, etc in the next agreement. Without it I will not vote for another one. Looking back I think the block override makes it look like a bigger raise than it is. I just wanted there to be seperate pay scales. I guess we will see what the future holds. I'm sure the 70/90 will go senior now.

I'm so embarassed to ask anybody for the jumpseat now. I turned down a job at Mesa only to end up working for...Mesa?

Gee, ya think ya shoulda come to that conclusion BEFORE you voted, instead of looking back?

And by the way, you didn't vote to SEPARATE. It's an override with many conditions attached.

and you been here how long now? how many 'straws' have you suffered through? I recall your posts when you were trying to get hired here, you backed SkyWest then, what is so different now all these MONTHS later?

classic union thuggery mentality. a guy will come to an interview, prepare, study hard, spend money flying the sim, and schmooze and tell the interviewer how much he wants the job, how excited he'd be to be here, blah blah blah. they present the payscale and all the info about the company. he smiles, does his absolute best, and hopes to get hired. then, after getting hired, turns around and starts pissing and moaning how bad he has it and how he'll 'burn the MF down' if he has to.

really impressive.
