Of course if Skywest had voted in ALPA, it would be 3-5 years before there were any pay increases.... Instead they get them immediately.... and don't have to pay 1.95%....
Well who knew

Yeah...that's what I thought...SHUT IT!!!!! JackAss!
Rather, it seems to be driven by, "We can't find anybody to fly our aircraft, so we'll have to throw more money at them".
Who gives a flying fart as to the "why" if they're improving pay and/or work rules?
Did management at ASA attempt to raise new-hire pay at ASA through a side-letter prior to the TA?
Yes, and the union correctly told them to finish the contract if they wanted their new hire pay so badly.
Similar thing is happening over here. Having trouble filling classes, so pay needs to be raised. Apparently, the initial offer by CC was low, and was rejected to include [hopefully] the whole pilot group. But the point is that the offer was not made to even up compensation at the two carriers, or out of the goodness of anyone's heart, but to attract qualified employees. As the pilot shortage progresses, pay increases will occur to retain qualified employees. It's economics, and it works with or without an antagonistic union.
SKW pilots have already told management that they will take whatever SGU wants to give them. (or not give them)
That right there is the whole problem!
When negiotiating pay issues there shouldn't even be a "Hopefully".
But, Hopefully SAPA will grab its ba!!s and man up,Hopefully it will be for everyone, not just the new hires (cuz' if I was JA and the board thats what I'd be pullin' for - to get people IN the door - losing people off the top is not so bad a thing because with it goes higher salaries)
Hopefully, Hopefully, Hopefully.....
You know what I Hope for - SAPA to be a little more antagonistic.....That would be nice......Oh, wait I just woke up....never mind.
