The highlights of the agreement are as follows:

* 3 year agreement (July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2018)
* Minimum Daily Guarantee increase to 4:12
* New 1:4 Time Away From Base guarantee (1 hour of pay for every 4 hours TAFB)
* 1.5% pay raise across the board on July 1, 2015 and another 1.5% in January 2017
* Year one FO rate of $30/hour (possibility to increase to $36.50)
* A guaranteed Pilot Profit Share payout in September 2015
* FAR 117 pay protections
* Pilot Profit Sharing (PPS) payout guarantees for the duration of the agreement
* PPS payout equal to 6% of SkyWest Airlines net income in 2015 and 2016
* PPS payout increases to 7% in 2017 and subsequent years
* PPS payout every 6 months
* Per diem increase to $1.85 on July 1, 2015 and to $1.90 in January 2017
* 1% increase in 401k company match with NO vesting schedule
* One extra guaranteed day off for line holders (19 max duty days)
* One extra guaranteed day off for reserves (18 max duty days)
* Creation of a SAPA Scheduling Liaison to assist in pairing construction
* Additional incentive for Company Open Time up to 15 days out

The main give back or "concession" if you will, was that there is now a 2-year seat lock for all new hires that are given a documented choice of equipment at time of hire.
If they are just assigned an aircraft (CRJ/ERJ) without being given a choice, there is no seat lock
