SkyWest has 3 pilots that are facing a 709 ride with the FAA over actions that should be protected under the ASAP process. The company is giving them lip service legal protection as it shifts the focus away from the short comings of management and directly on the pilots.

Can anyone envision a Delta Captain having to take a re certification check ride from the FAA because he missed some steps in a QRH?

I would think ALPA would take this very seriously!

We have no protection and no voice.

BTW the 3 pilots are basically screwed for the rest of their careers as their pilot record will show a revocation of certificate and (hopefully) a reissuance.

Welcome to your "First Class" career!
