If they inked a deal for cs300,and at 250ish an hour that would seem to me to be a change in my vote. Please tell me why a wb f/o is making more than a CAPTAIN on this probable 195/e2 ***,whatever you call it? Also, since there is an *, you know the company lawyers are gonna call them something different than they are=subject to more outsourcing.
Go ahead and vote yes..get ur 13%, and your loa fix, but hopefully this won't lead to furloughs. You and I both know that mgt has had a hard on for us pilots forever! Does a pig in lipstick ring a bell?
Having worked for SkyWest rates on furlough deuce, I can unequivocally tell you that you're incorrect. We were started at second year pay of $31/hr. Based on current SkyWest pay rates, that's now $38/hr.
A
HUGE point of scope choke was to get the company to buy a SNB aircraft of a smaller gauge than the 319/737-500. And now some want to pizz away the opportunity so that a SNB Captain can be paid at a higher rate than a WB FO? The only way that's feasible is to significantly compress the entire pay scale and I don't think many would be happy with that outcome.
