My apologies. I made a poor attempt at conveying my original point. It was not that Skywest was the next to go BK. My initial response was to a Skywest pilot whom called the Pinnacle pilots "spineless weenies" because they approved the concessionary TA. To do so, when that individual has not been in the same situation, is out of line. Until that individual has walked in the Pinnacle pilot's shoes, he/she is nothing more then troll.(As you would call them) Same goes for the those that criticize mainline pilots for "selling scope" in BK. There are now some Pinnacle pilots who realize the reality that BK brings. To "burn it down" or "max pay until the last day" isn't such a easy choice when you have a family to consider.

Now, you can say Skywest is going to be just fine. And perhaps they will be. But you can not ensure that they will not have to comply with the current CPA which requires a rate reset in 2015, & requires Skywest to be the 2nd lowest cost DCI operator. Will that result in the need for lower labor costs? Hard to say, but the rate reset is undeniable. And if profit margins are slimming, the lower rates required due to Pinnacle's new contract could certainly place pressure on Skywest pilot's pay.
