That's not the case. You guys do it to everyone. Face biter did to gold just a few post ago. So it's lie that it's just me.

What about before the BHO was implemented? What was the 700 rate before that? But even an override is an undercut because your soft time is paid at the 200 rate (vacation, sick, training, etc). Why would you guys vote that deficient pay system in?

To you and too many others on this board that automatically draws cries of kool aid drinking.
Unfair attacks by uninformed outsiders was not the case here though.

Air Wisconsin, Envoy, and Horizon don't have higher pay and or better retirement/benefits? Our dues are 1.9% and they are 100% tax deductible so the effective dues rate is lower for those that itemize. It's also well worth it in insurance, if that's all you see it as, but it's a lot more. The fact that you see it as a negative says a lot of the coat tail mentality many Skywest pilots have. Your welcome for all the recent things you guys take advantage of like ASAP, FOQA, KCM, CASS, FFDO, etc.
