SkyWest Pay Proposal Passes

[HelloNewman]

Just to let everybody know the SkyWest vote results are in. We have a new pay agreement. Thanks to all who voted. We now have a split payrate on the 70 seater. Cheers to all!

Total Yes Votes 975 56.4%
Total No Votes 753 43.6%

Resistance.... Is futile.

FI will have to shut down for a while

Makes me sick...They want to divide the pilot group, I hope they get it.

I hope all the EMB pilots delay every single flights they fly (since they don't exist according to many)....when all those guys who votes "yes" will have their bonus disappear, maybe they'll remember they're still EMB flying out-there.

It would be interesting to see the break down in the votes by base, equipment and seniority.

Cheers to all.

Tell that to the EMB pilots you selfish kool-aid drinker

 

[ArcticFlier]

So, 56% of the pilots voted to give about 25% anything resembling a raise.......don't tell me 1% is a raise, either. ie.don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Yep, It's crap......

 

[Exskydiverdrivr]

The 70/90 flying will merely go senior now. Congrats guys - you just gave the top people on the seniority list in a select few domiciles a raise and NO ONE ELSE.

 

[WWEfan]

What does it really matter? This is not a binding agreement. Jerry can change it whenever he wants.

 

[TNPILOT]

By the way, an override doesn't constitute a split pay rate. Not to mention the override sucks anyway. Congratulations, you now make $1-2 more per hour as a 70 seat captain at Skywest than an XJT 50 seat captain makes. Skywest caves again. Surprise, surprise. I bet CHQ can't wait to go to negotiations this year and have that crappy 70 seat rate thrown in their faces.

What are the pay scales? Can someone post the details? Thanks.

What are the pay scales? Can someone post the details? Thanks.

1% increase for 200.

That increase plus a 5% override for the 700 or 900 in 2007, 6% in 2008, 7% in 2009, 8% in 2010.

Newhire pay goes up a qaurter per year until $20.00.

 

[BoilerUP]

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?

 

[samballs]

Buncha a bitches, buncha bitches

Sad.
There are nearly a 1000 spineless dweebs like NewWoman at SkyWest.
I know a few EMB CA's that are planning to stay on the flight plan route.
They will fly by the book.
If the RLSF from SLC to PIH is 2100 and 15 pax are onboard they will go with RLSF and buy the $2.90 fuel in PIH.
They will just do their job.
By the book. Which is exactly what they're being paid to do anyway.
Cell phone to call MX or dispatch?
Nope, looks like the battery is low.
They'll have to use ATL Radio or go inside to Ops.
Favors on a day off to prevent a cancellation? They will just think long and hard about how sh1tty this pay deal was before doing any favors.

 

[The Drizzle]

I bet CHQ can't wait to go to negotiations this year and have that crappy 70 seat rate thrown in their faces.

CHQ and MESA both are now setup for failure, we have the XJT contract to reference for the 135/140/145, but when it comes to the 70 seat i thnk we are gonna eat crow. Yay for more downward presssure!

 

[bailout]

Im unclear as to why anyone would vote no for a raise? 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.

Patience embdrvr-san....... I'm confident the fallout this pay deal will result in future negotiations by another party, if ya know what I mean...

 

[skypine69]

This is really sad. I know that many will just start to fly the SOP EXACTLY. My complaint with this was no retro pay and did not include the whole pilot group. Oh well....would you like direct LARKS? No thanks.
