Jetjock, I appreciate your support for ASA, and I appreciate you voting ALPA. Let me give you an example of my line next month and how my pay would actually go down with the TA. I fly 13 CDO's (or "naps"). Many have less than 12 hours of duty, but for sake of argument let's average 12 hours which would be 6 hours of pay with the new rig. 13 times 6= 78 hours or 3 hours over minimum guarantee. We currently have underblock pay which pays over the 75 hour guarantee when we fly a leg in less block than it is scheduled for. I usually get about 7 hours a month of underblock pay on top of guarantee, or 82 hours pay. Did I mention that underblock pay is gone in the TA?

Rigs are great, but we CAN have that AND higher hourly rates if everyone sticks together. SKYW is not hurting for money. It's time to get paid what we're worth.
