We show up, do our job and go home. But if your idea of a sustainable model is cheaper pilot labor, then I would rather not accommodate that anymore. We did that already while still maintaining better compensation than any other regional pilot group. For me, it couldn't have turned out any better since those responsible for our loses are now dealing with it. Poetic justice. If management wants to save more money, don't come us XJT pilots, go to the two sets of management teams first.
I can't really tell why you started this thread since now you've conceded every point you started with.
1) Your old CEO and new CEO have a title in common. That's about it. Your old one ran a business into the ground.
2) I think pilots are a huge part of the success of the airline business. Captains are right up there with top executives in the direct correlation between making or loosing money.
3) Just think your game plan out a few steps. How long is your new CEO going to continue to allow you to loose money? All those rampers, gate agents, flight attendants who have mouths to feed.. you're going to continue a loosing strategy and jeopardize all their futures just so you don't have to look at yourself honestly and adapt?
The reason I started this thread is because you guys are all secretive a kit these type of things. I only wanted to inform the uninformed. In fact, I've said very little about the substance of the SAPA update. Anyway, the only thing I conceded is that I'm happy that Skywest has to deal with the mess they created rather than anyone else. And if you think that captains make that much of a difference, then you need to check your ego. We are all pawns. As for loosing money, I don't care if our CEO tightens it up or not. We are working just the same we did the day before Skywest bought us. The only change is the low ball CPA that our CEO negotiated.
