Skywest pilots got their biggest raises over the last decade when union talk was strongest, or following contractual gains at peer groups like ASA.
Your company has grown significantly, but its not been in a vacuum...
I appreciate your logical, well thought response. As for the 70 seat for 50 seat rates are you referring to the Block Hour Override system in place? I agree it sucks and that is one of the issues SAPA is negotiating with management in regards to a new pay scale. I know negotiations were put on hold while waiting to see what happens at PSA. Mgmt was offering to bring money to the table to work on getting us some form of raise but I don't know if that will happen now. It will be interesting to see what we get offered.
