Hey Skywest dispatchers......can someone verify some details for me regarding premiums for Skywest dispatchers. I have information that states Skywest receives premiums for ATS (Comp airmen) and Instructor premium (OJT?) of $1.50/hr and $1.00/hr respectively. Can anyone confirm or refute this information. Also, can dispatchers make themselves available during their vacation and/or holidays??? If so, are they paid a premium rate in addition to their vacation/holiday pay or not?

You are correct on the overrides...Not quite sure i follow the other part, but here is how it works...If you are scheduled off on a holiday, you get 8 hours of holiday pay. If you scheduled to work you get your normal 10 hours plus 8 hours holiday pay. If you pick up that day, you get overtime of time and 1/2 plus the 8 hours of holiday pay.
=Also, Skywest dispatch doesnt Bid vacation per se. We request it whenever we want it, and if the scheduler can get it off for you, you get the day off. Lets say i decide I want next Wednesday off. I fill out a vacation request and cross my fingers it gets approved.

Assuming she is still reading over your shoulder...
The Black Widow owns each of our souls...and I wouldn't have it any other way. Best. Vacation. Setup. EVER. Well, at least for people like me who never plan their trips more than 3 days in advance. Last minute trip to Sydney? No problemo...

The Black Widow also has a way of talking me into working overtime to cover your short notice vacation requests.

No - LOL - I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!
Oh....we were given information that the overnight shift got differential pay ($0.50/hr) and we wanted to confirm. I guess you can look forward to it in the future if we manage to get it in our contract at EV. Thanks for the information.

It has grown on me the longer I've been here (2 years)...still not sure I want to be here forever. Would love to go back home to DFW someday. I could stick with SKW for a while though...I do like the company quite a bit.
All said, it is a nice little town to a certain extent. There is plenty to do within 120 miles of SGU...just very little to do IN SGU.
No scheduled CRJ's in SGU. I don't think we've seen a CRJ in here since we took delivery of 821SK and they flew it down here for some promotional photos at SGU.
Only scheduled service is 7 or 8 daily flights to SLC and 2 incredibly ill-timed flights to LAX. All Brasilias. I've been pushing to work out some kind of jumpseat agreement with the company that runs the FedEx Feeder Caravans to LAS, but something tells me that would be a charlie-foxtrot on those hot days even if we got it all worked out.
I'm sitting at 375+ hrs. OT YTD. I've cut back significantly in the last few months and traveled more.

Four 10 hr. shifts.
OT is combination of staffing and time off granted. We run a pretty fluid sked.
You're going to have to define VR for us.
