Skywest Pilot "Creed"

[skypine69]

So a little birdie told me that Skywest now has a "creed" all the pilots have to learn and recite in groundschool. 1. Is this true? and 2. If it is true, can someone post it on here?

I swear allegiance to the tabernacle of St. George, and to the dictatorship that is Skywest Airlines, Incorporated. I promise to always save as much fuel as I can when flying mainline routes between Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco unless of course it will compromise being on time. On skyway, on horizon, on mesa, on air wisconsin, great lakes, and other unnamed airlines backs we shall fly. Non-Union, potential scabs, and bottom of the barrel regional forever and ever.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA men... yes please. Giggle.

I've heard that you had to convert to LDS too, but I've been here almost 12 years and am still a heretic.

Shame on you;-)

Learn and recite? I never did... but yeah, the professionalism committee did create a creed, trying to combat the norm of unprofessional behavior. There was an increase of spikey hair, backpacks, and ipods a while back, and Skywest did what they could to try to combat these lazy attitudes. What has your airline done?

 

[skypine69]

What has your airline done?

Treat its pilots like professionals to begin with and pay them a respectable wage from day 1. But you go with the creed....who needs money??

ALPA has had a code of ethics for decades.

Im pretty sure I linked right to the OLD post about the same thing!

 

[OPECJet]

"I, state your name, do solemnly swear to marry as many women as possible, create lots of babies, and get them three social security numbers each. I further swear to register for every possible social program in triplicate while evading the authorities. So help me Morm.".

(No offense to the DEN crew we partied with that night and those like them. You guys were awesome and would get a laugh out of it anyway)

 

[Terantious]

Why do you want the "creed" so bad dude? Oh i get it, you want to wake up every morning reciting it because you didn`t pass the interview at SKW or have an upcoming interview or re-interview and want to stand up during the HR portion and start reciting it from memory

 

[homerjdispatch]

Hee... you can find the creed in this thread... http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=132296

SkyWest First Officer's Creed

No one is more professional than I. I am a First Officer - a member of the flight crew whose purpose is to keep my passengers, crew, and airplane safe.

My decisions are the difference between life and death for both my passengers and my company.

I am the master of my emotions. No one controls my mood but me.

I will conduct myself to bring credit to myself, my Company and my profession at all times.

I will not compromise my integrity or safety for any reason.

I am a leader. I am a professional. I am a First Officer.


Read it and laugh your ass off.

 

[Fubijaakr]

Now that's funny.

What's funnier is an ex-SKW guy once said, "Its hard to believe they can get people to work for an outfit where EVERYWHERE you go people hate you."

Looks like Virgin took a chapter out of the SKW playbook.

"I, state your name, do solemnly swear to marry as many women as possible, create lots of babies, and get them three social security numbers each. I further swear to register for every possible social program in triplicate while evading the authorities. So help me Moroni."

THAT is a true statement. I fixed the last part

 

[Flyerdan]

Here it is: I am a Skywest pilot. I am not a god, though I have many God like characteristics. I will ignore those who are jealous of our success as well as those who are dumbfounded by our nonunion status. I will not brag or brawl with these ignorant souls, but rather sit back and wait for the day when their company will be run out of business or purchased by my company and they are brought into the fold.
We memorize this from day one and make it a part of every crew brief. And oh my heck we must recite it when asked or the non-alcoholic, non-caffeine beverages have to be on us.

All Skywest pilots want to be unionized, just not at Skywest.

Sounds hypocritical to me.
