Time for Skywest to Step Up

[Bluto]

Facts!? Why use those when I've already got my mind made up? Unfortunately, there are many SkyWest pilots with no idea about the facts regarding ALPA. It's not all wine and roses, but 6%?! Where do people get this garbage?

ALPA is no good and the teamsters are worse! The teamsters are the lowest people anywhere.

I'll keep my 3-6% union dues in my pocket, thank you.

In the first place, if your time is correct, you haven't been around long enough to form an opinion about a union.

In the second place, I doubt you would say " teamsters are the lowest people anywhere" to his or her face. They would send you on a trip to meet Jimmy Hoffa, if you're old enough to know who he was.

And third, dues are 1.95%.

There are some guys that are very anti-SAPA and pro-union. I hope they step up and run for office

And I hope some of those guys do not step up and run. We need level headed pilots in office, not people that want to fight with management because they are pissed.

I'm not sure that because you are disapointed in SAPA, and want ALPA that you automatcally are a hot-head that wants to pick a fight. There is probably some middle ground to be found.

Have the guys who think that this might be a good raise actually calculated this on their own pay scale? Take what you got and multiply that by 1.012 and see just how much that really is.

And, the last time I looked at my paycheck, ALPA dues were 2%.

...and tax deductible.

I don't think it's a good raise, but let me calculate what this means for me.
$19.02 * 1.012= 19.25/hr. Let me add in the bonus that SGU says is a pay raise. Quarterly pereformance bonus= not eligable, less than 1 year employment. Profit sharing program= not eligable, less than 2 years employment.

I think I need to quit doing my MIL duty on my days off

 

[fleiger1]

...and the really sad thing is people consider the stupid bonus as part of the raise. All they did was is defer the money from the profit sharing (that went into the 401K) to the bonus program. So until everyone gets over SGUs shyt and sees the light we are only getting a 1.2% raise...

 

[homerjdispatch]

Just wondering how much of a raise a union will get? Lets say the union gets 3% raise. Then you subtract the 2% union dues and you have a 1% raise.

Did anyone see the thread on Deltas offer for pilots to fly 100 seat aircraft for LESS THAN CHQ E170 rates? Dont know if those numbers are true, but if they are, LOOK OUT BELOW!!!!!

Good luck, and I hope SKYW guys get what they need and deserve....

What would be a reasonable offer from SGU?

What would be a reasonable offer from SGU?

Cost of living increase (3%/year). Retro pay to not reward SGU for dragging their feet. An expiration date on the new agreement. Splitting the 50/70 rates, or at least specifying CL-65 to mean -200/700. As they have it now we would be agreeing to fly the -900 for the same rate as the -200.

There's a lot more on the wish list, but this is a place to start

 

[Steveair]

Get your facts straight Steve.

I do have them right but I forgot, YOU KNOW THE DUES FOR EVERY AIRLINE IN THE WORLD!!! How foolish of me... Bow down and worship Puck Mugger! ohh wait, wait, wait... 2% for some at ALPA. I have my facts just fine. Grow up and start throwing trash around... god knows there's enough on you.

 

[Bluto]

Steve, name a single ALPA carrier that has dues of 6% if you think your facts are straight.

Homer, do you consider a 1.2% raise sufficient? What would youconsider reasonable?

 

[viper548]

How does the cost of living in SGU compare to MRY, SAN, SBA, LAX, PSP, FAT, SMF, SBP, and PDX? How much has the cost of living gone up in SGU compared to these places in the last 5 years?

 

[homerjdispatch]

Bluto,

Not at all. But thats all every other department in the company got. I hope you guys get a lot more. Then we can try and get more too!

I think anything that doesn't keep up with inflation a slap in the face. We got slapped last year. We got 1.5%. PM me and I will give you all the details. It wasn't pretty.
