Fact. Skywest only gets vacation they bid per day, Pbs will bid around those days. Of you take three vacation days pbs cab put a trip infront and behind it. This is nothing new and the rest of the world operates this way.
Fact. Skywest pilots have to sit ready at the airport inside the footprint of a canceled turn. Not always, plus they're paying you the greater of and 99% of the time you're there anyways. If your CDO is Xld they will send you home, etc.
Fact. Skywest fires more people than any 121 airline in America. I'm friends with our diciplinary rep, this statment is completly false.
Fact. Skywest pilots only get paid a base crj rate and an override only when they fly a 70. and the 90, it's called a BHO for Brad Holt Override. But even after taking the BHO into account we are among the highest paying pilots in the nation on our equipment and that includes L-ASA and L-XJT. Maybe not on every year but on the majority with a higher top. You're sad to argue about a buck here or there, it just shows us what kind of a person you are (hint, see below).
But you are an APC troll; all you have to do is read you’re postings. Everyone on here can tell you're a miserable person and you probably live under a bridge that has SkyWest painted in it.
BTW, if things are so bad over here why is the overwhelming MAJOIRTY of our pilot group made up of pilots from other 121 (including LOTS of ex-XJTers) union careers and we're happy? And if it’s sooooo bad why do unions keep getting voted down with, again, the majority of our pilots being from other 121 union carriers?
