I CHOSE not to go to skywest for several reasons. 1st, wanted to get back to the south seeing thats where i am from and was tired of utah. 2nd, although there was a lot of growth, there were also a lot of complaints from my buddies. i wont go into the list since you obviously know the answers to everything!! JM is rappant just so you know. I just talked to a friend of mine and he has gotten 2 calls this week. luckily right now you can flat out refuse a jm assignement, but that will change, the company will make it so you cant refuse, or you get a certain amount of refusels. and then what buddy? You just have to do it!!! no binding contract to help you out. with all this growth they are just going to make up rules as they go along and you are going to be the one to pay for it. pay attention man. you must not have been in the business to long.
by the way, wasn't a skywest pilot that was on the news recently for being drunk?
Once again you are a lying sack...nothing you have said about SKW is true!
I've been in the business a while.
I have never been JMed at SKW (unlike my previous alpa job)...they call and ask and I politely decline, maybe once or twice a month.
As soon as SKW management makes life here annoying, I'll consider a union...preferably in house.
SKW alcohol policy is 8 (EIGHT) (10-2) (All the fingers on one hand plus three fingers on your other hand) hours, not 12 hours. I for one like it that way...I'm too old to get frat-house drunk anymoe, but I like a beer with dinner, even on short overnights. Drink Responsibly!
ALPA is useless at the regional level. Once again, fix mesa and all the other f-ed up alpa regionals and THEN come talk to me
