1.5% and and increase in captain override for the 700 to 6% (from 5%), increase in 900 override to 8% (from 5%). No change in FO override (5%). Increase in min daily guarantee to 3:57 (from 3:45).

A whopping $1.18/hr for me... So about $1000/yr before taxes taken out...

 

[MarineGrunt]

No...

 

[Whydoitry]

Can someone post some actual rates?

Just out of curiosity, as a SKYW pilot. After voting yes for a pay package with a net loss last time, and voting DOWN a union, WTF did you think we were going to get????

Just out of curiosity, how do you calculate that the last pay package at SKYW was a "net loss last time?" Honest question? How do you come to that conclusion? Is it the "didn't keep up with inflation" argument? Just wondering.

NO freakin way!!!!!!!!!!!:uzi:

 

[the palm]

Serious question. Do SKYW pilots even have a say in the matter?

 

[Abernathy]

Yeah wouldn't a vote just be a symbolic formality?

 

[Crash Pad]

Hey since you aren't union can you go on strike tomorrow if you wanted? Maybe non-union is the way to go you can circumvent the whole railway labor act. Not that SKYW would it is just a thought that came to me.

I would say this is a very good question. They did have a say at having a united pilot group a few years back, but they said "no." Now, they truly have no ability impose their will.

If the vote results are no, then it's simply that, it doesn't pass. It then goes back for renegotiation. Not to mean it will get better or worse.

That being said there is some imediancy that management wants in getting this through quickly, therefore it would seem prudent to not take the first offer given.

I am very happy with the proposed MDG increase, I think that will improve trip build up.

The UAL J4J deal (the first one), and the USAIR J4J offer, the UAL jumpseat fiasco, are some of the few things that the pilots have voted against. BTW

It should be five hours, especially with new rest/duty rules coming out soon.

But really-

What does that vote mean? What obligation does Jerry have to take your advice?

 

[OCP]

That min day increase is a joke. Same thing that ASA just got.

Yes, it's called quitting.

 

[captain822]

MDG still ensures we'll see 16 hour 4-days. 5 hours seems more appropriate. Rates are a joke. Vote HELL NO!!!

 

[the palm]

Vote no. Votes yes. Vote maybe. Vote for Mickey Mouse. It doesn't matter. Jerry will impose whatever he wants on you clowns at SKYW. He is only offering this carrot in hopes it will serve as a "measuring stick" for the upcoming ASA/XJT real negotiations.
