SkyWest Pilots cancel IAH-DFW for scope viloation!

[COOPERVANE]

Whoever these two pilots are: THANK YOU. Wow. Imagine that, a captain with a spine. The CAL pilots are watching this very closely and CALALPA in particular. These two may work for a non-union airline, but they have a union backing them big time now.

Why weren't they backed up from the start?

All I saw on here was bashing of us "commuter trash" saying we are all salivating at the thought of flying mainline routes.

The Skywesters repeatedly stated they wanted no part of it, but the response was "yeah right ....you cant wait!"

Do you believe them now?

No. But I now believe two of them.

We need to find out who this crew was - CPT and FO and forward their names onto friends in the UAL hiring department when we hire off the street in a couple years.

This takes balls and we need more like him and his FO to crew our airplanes in the future.

Yeah... because that's the kind of pilot UAL management wants, lmao!!

I think it's really funny how pilots still think they're running the show in hiring. It's all HR now, people! Even if there's pilots on the hiring board, they're no longer the decision makers! Quit acting more important than you really are!

But with that said, kudos to the pilots for having the courage to stand up, even though they may lose their jobs.

Nice Job.

I was spring-loaded to refuse the one I had to do, but everything appeared to be in compliance a couple days ago. I checked the CO website, the UA website and the airport signage...it only showed up as UAX.

Looks like CO is trying to backslide. Pay attention folks.

thanks !

Something like this happened during the Comair strike as well. Bunch of us made a big stink until we were sure that the flying was not struck work. Union or not, we at least tried to do the right thing. For its part, the company bent over backwards to appease the pilots. Hopefully more cancellations will follow.

Yep, but fellow ALPA carriers had no problem picking up the struck flying. Talk about brotherhood and unity!

Completely agree. Next week, no mainline pilot will even remember this even happened, let alone go out of their way to try and get some regional pilot a job at their mainline.

I was hired by a panel of three pilots, two active and one retired, and my sim eval was run by a retired pilot. They told HR who to hire (pending background checks of, course). So yes, I do believe they can be brought to the front of the line.

That's one way to get an internal recommendation by a CAL pilot...

If this is true, these guys are already fired. Internal recs are pretty much useless to people who got fired.

 

[mrebuck]

Nice work guys.

 

[Chairman]

I am sure the CAL pilots who wanted someone else to fight there fight will send this guy money for the rest of his career if he looses his job. I doubt that will happen but if the CAL pilots want to fight this issue then they ALL should be flying SAFE the day the 70 seaters showed up with a CAL number on the flight not telling other pilots they should refuse the flying......

 

[bender]

The guidance from CALPA on this one was to fly the flight and then report to SAPA any CO code violations who would forward it to CALPA legal to address with management. Instead this guy took it one step further. Good luck to him/her.

 

[pipers]

Highly doubt they will get fired. We'll keep you posted.

 

[BHopper88]

Pilots at SkyWest have been punished severely or fired (disappear off the seniority list) for Lesser reasons. But again this is all rumors and who knows, they might have to do a carpet dance, and that would be the end of it.

 

[brokedash]

I heard about 51 passengers were were pretty upset because they missed all of their connections. Now poor 6 yr old Jimmy won't get to see his Grandma in the hospital.

Flame bait.

 

[Flyforyou]

Completely agree. Next week, no mainline pilot will even remember this even happened, let alone go out of their way to try and get some regional pilot a job at their mainline.

There will be PLENTY who will remember this here at CAL.

That is not how they hire at UAL but you knew that huh?

I never said pilots "run the show" in hiring but they play an integral part at this property post - Nancy Stuckey days anyways.

Did you forget to fill out the Scantron form properly back in the day?

 

[mxaviator]

How did they catch that it was coded as a CAL flight? Besides being into IAH.

 

[Flyer2000]

I have spoken with their CP... and no punitive or diciplinary action will be taken on either of these two pilots.

 

[CLARKGRSWOLD]

These guys certainly did the right thing and I suspect they will have no problem securing interviews at a major when the hiring tide turns. Good on them and THANK YOU for standing with us and realizing that this is NOT legal flying.

Funny, ya because old those old crusty's conducting the interviews aren't scabs

You've got that right! As a mainline skygod, I find it very difficult to hear anyone talking over the sound of my awesomeness.

Best way to lose an argument is by putting it in the hands of ALPA.

There will be PLENTY who will remember this here at CAL.

Ok, then go get this guy a job at CAL.
