Did you ever stop to think that might be a reason some ALPA groups have had to take concessions - to remain cost competitive with Skywest whose pilots were willing to fly larger aircraft for the same pay?
Easy Boiler!
You said “Skywest pilots were willing to fly larger aircraft for the same pay.” No! We didn’t/don't have representation so we we’re “FORCED!" BTW, I was a Bro pilot when we voted on our BS pay proposal and I voted NO! I wanted more.
Our total pay/QOL package (even before the BS new pay policy) was & still is well above 90+% of the industry. You can argue a $1 here or there on our hourly rates but at the end of the year our W2's place us right up there with the #1. So, it's not our pay that caused some ALPA groups to take concessions, it was $hity Mgmnt and bankruptcies on their (not meaning pilots) part. Don't put this on us, ignorance like that really Pi$$ me off!
