A 4 day trip could have a guarantee of only 8 hours. For what I do for 90 hours of pay at Skywest I would only be paid 60 at Gojet. That is not from speculating, those are real numbers for the trips I fly. The contract makes a difference.
The entire month is guaranteed. What is posted is what you get regardless of any cancelations or reroutes. The contract has a caveat where you might not get a minimum 4hrs depending on the time you leave the base, instead just time flown for the day. Do I like it? No, but very rarely does it make an impact because most days are credited 4hrs of flight time at minimum. I regularly get 18-20 days off with 80-85 credits. You want to be truthful? How about 4yrs right seat in the RJ at Skywest
.
The upper management on the other hand is a legitimate concern, I won't deny that to anyone.
