SkyWest Pilots cancel IAH-DFW for scope viloation!

[pipers]

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

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.

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.

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.

 

[Shrek]

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.

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

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

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

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

 

[WayBack]

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.

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.

Good for this pilot, looks like he isn't delirious on the company kool-aid.

IMO this pilot isn't punished..

Scenario #1- Pilot is talked to but nothing punitive happens to him. Skywest management saves face among pilots maintaining their good image. In reality this is a calculated move on management's part to keep the lemming pilots happy and a union out. A union would cost them much more then a canceled flight.

Scenario #2- Pilot gets fired/suspended. Skywest pilots realize that maybe management isn't so friendly...Start to wonder how/why SkyW Inc can be out buying airlines, investing in airlines while their pilots fly increasingly large aircraft for roughly the same pay. Pilot mutiny brings a union on board and SKWY ends up having to negotiate a real contract that could cost them millions.....

F'n idiots. I hope they fire him/her/them. What part of operational control do you not understand.

This is a contractual issue, not a personal isssue, (much less an RLA issue).

Idiots like this should be fired (plus anyone supporting these stupid actions).

Please read the RLA and associated actions ... these actions are clearly not in conformity.

Just curious.
How do all of you know for certain that this crews actions were about making a statement? Maybe there were a few misunderstandings that early morning and they just needed some clarifications from a few people before they proceeded on their full day of flying in the IAH system........ or maybe they just wanted to be FI celebrities for the day. Who knows. So, does anybody know if they actually continued their flying for the day? I bet they did. Well anyway, I'm just going to stay out of this touchy subject and let everybody else put the FI spin on it. Carry on-

That is a lot of people getting fired! I support them 100 percent, guess I should be fired as well? bummer dude.

Guys like yourself think you are so smart, well you are not. "Not in conformity" too funny.

SkyWest is a non-union airline. That flight was 100 percent in violation of an arbitration award. They choose not to violate the contract of another airline. These pilots understand what it is to stick together, and it's not even their fight ! They have been dragged into this by United and SkyWest management. Witnessing the hypocrisy of SkyWest management I blame them as well.

I love your logic, NOT.

anyway, thanks SkyWest DFW pilots and many others who support our cause.

Put a sock in it Bobby! Those guys are awesome!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Thanks man that line made my night! You are a slug in the system little boy and yet you concern yourself with 'operational control'. Can't hate on Uncle Jerry for the potency of the koolaid he serves to simple minded types like you!
