But sorry for being so juvenile when it comes to my pay and quality of life. Thanks for the lecture oh wise one.
Time out Cpt Tony....The SkyWest pilots aren't to blame for this mess we find ourselves in. The 3 main reasons are:
1. Failure by ALPA to implement brand scope over a decade ago when they had the opportunity...That ship has sailed and we now must deal with the consequences of ALPA's failure.
2. The Pinnacle/Endeavor contract....Not the SkyWest pay and workrules, but an ALPA negotiated and signed contract is putting the new pressure on our contract.
3. Our "brothers" over on the LXJT side with their silly PBS game they have been playing which dragged this out so that the concessions given by Eagle and Pinnacle now factor into "pattern bargaining".....Brilliant move by the LXJT children.
Blaming the SkyWest folks for a mess that is largely ALPA's doing is silly...Your starting to sound like Nevets.....
Once Skywest Inc wins flying, that is when we get whipsawed again against the Skywest airlines pilots. By the way, Skywest inc has 200 aircraft on order.
The PBS issue would have been resolved if your MEC would have compromised. It took them a year to come to that compromise. Not the XJT MEC's fault.
