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.
Funny how you feel it's appropriate to post internal memos for an airline you don't work for and already have misconceptions about. Next time Xjt alpa mec emails you guys an internal memo mind if I post it on here and flightinfo and then spout inaccurate speculative opinions?
Yes, please do! I would be more than happy to give you my opinion to those as well. By the way, I never said anything inaccurate about the SAPA update.

This guy comes on here and spouts off a bunch of nonsense and we call him out on it and we're the bullies in a school yard?
This thread has run its course anyway. Ill leave it to others to decide who's being reasonable and what each parties motives are.
I don't think you are getting the bigger picture he is talking about. But it doesn't surprise me some of you guys just don't get this industry. Ignorance is not an excuse though after you've been around for some time.

We can start gaining back what this profession has already taken from us. The requirements for entry into 121 are higher than ever and we should be compensated as such...
Well, Skywest pilots are supposed to get whatever 401k matching, health benefits, and scope that we get. Sure makes it harder for us to negotiate any improvements there when we are being anchored by 3000 other pilots who are not contributing.
Does that analogy help any of you guys get it now?
