For us, the ones left at SkyWest hard times are ahead with a company forcing everyone to work more because of staffing problems. Staffing problems that we will be unable to solve and that even importing Australian pilot’s with H1B work visas. (We have more than 30 of those at SkyWest and that is how the company been filling new hire classes lately while selling the lie that we did not have any issues filling classes)
The future of SkyWest is at risk now thanks to all those that voted yes believing they where being “good boys”, being satisfied with 1% and proudly helping the company save money by voting yes while drinking the koolaid sold by a management disconnected to the current Regional Airlines times. I care about the future and my job with Skywest and I have been here more than a decade and I am one of those that flown commercially for more than 20 years and have paid my dues many times over and I am angry and disappointed with all pilots that do not have the capacity to see the bigger picture adapt and understand what is really important and what really needs to be done at any given moment to survive in these times. Voting yes for a 5 year contract disconnected to the reality of the industry puts all our jobs and our company at risk. To survive and to stay competitive we need to be able to staff the Airline and for that it is critical that we pay the best and not the worst like what we have achieved.
