Like I posted previously, I would rather make $2 less while improving QOL rules and save my company almost $6M/yr. to help them maintain competitiveness than help run my airline into stagnation due to no new contracts, loss of flying and money which could result in bankruptcy. I just don’t understand why anyone would want the latter. Then again our Mgmt. group unlike any other has proven themselves to be very savvy and mostly trust worthy. They also have proven their dedication to SkyWest continued success and profitability.
In addition I also like profitability bonuses over $2 more per hour so we can share in the good times and not hurt my airline during the bad. But then again I do trust the majority of our Mgmt. group, which doesn't mean I don't hold them accountable and check to make sure they crossed their T's and dotted their I's. And I do call them out when they haven't, but that's an intern issue not meant for these boards mainly due to the haters.
Well it's really funny how we are owned by the same company, with the same so-called "values", yet our management is exactly the opposite of yours. They are petty, vindictive, and view pilots as nothing more than a manageable expense. They step over a dollar to pick up a dime, and treat us like slaves on a plantation. I'm sure your response will be it's because we're union and don't have that "magical" working relationship being non union brings. Rather, it's we have a union because they treat us like crap and would steal every bite out of my kids mouths if they thought they could get away with it. So good for you that they treat you like partners for some reason. I hope it stays that way. Maybe if they treated us that way the minute support for the union would dwindle to nothing here too.
