Will SKW slow down?

This is all just last minute spin. The outcome is allready decided. Only the computer knows, tell "high noon."

I voted no on that one too because I thought there should be a relationship between productivity and compensation.

Metaphor or not, do you get the point I was making? You can listen to each side with selective hearing and probably be disappointed even though each side is true to their statements?

I do see the point you were making...However, I not only try and have an open mind(to avoid selective hearing), but also do a lot of my own research(to get a more unbiased view on things).


To sum it up, while I know ALPA can't come in and wave their magic wand to make everything perfect...the direction SAPA has been taking us for some time(while being steered by management) is not the right one! In a perfect world it would be nice if we could rely on those we elected to represent us at SAPA. However, sadly it has become all too apparent as to who they really represent over the last several years! No matter how hard I try, I can't come up with any justification for having no COLA for 11+ years from a company as succesful as Skyw(or for SAPA to have settled for, let alone advocate the lousy 0 and 1%)!

Sad thing is, some folks will buy into it. Those folks will be on the OC next time around.

Wow. That's quite profound rtmcfi.

That is one of the very few FI predictions that I would actually bet my next paycheck on.

on a lighter note... I've never started a post that grew this fast....guess I should have figured

Thinking about making a move from Eagle to SKW. Have only been here a few months so the lateral move won't be too tough. I have heard that there are no more upgrade or new hire classes this year. Is this just a typical holiday slow down or are things not going to be fast at SKW anymore. I don't care if upgrade is less than a year but I don't want to jump ship if I'm going to be at the end of the hiring boom.

Even with all the little problems going on with SkyWest, it is still a good place to work and the Boys in SGU always have something on the burner. My OPINION is do what you have to to not commute. If you end up spending alot of time at a regional then you will want to be home as much as possible. Good luck.

Word is that if the ALPA is voted down tomorrow - there is a huge new contract waiting. We shall see.

That is so much bull crap! Pilot groups do not win or lose flying. Only management does that. If you are going to get the flying, you will get it regardless. If not, then Oh-well.

What happens if you the ALPA vote fails and then no flying? Doh!

If the ALPA vote fails, watch for Skywest to get most or all of the difference between their current book and ASA's TA within 6 weeks.

If not 1% higher than ASA, simply out of spite.

I heard that too.

I've heard this too. Delta is afraid to disperse more flying to us right now based on this union vote because of the Comair strike. Apparently they feel that if we vote ALPA in...with their being two seniority lists it could cause a slow down for them and they want nothing of it.

SkyW may not be perfect, but the grass is sure green here. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
