My question for this group is this new rule been put to your pilots and what are your union reps able to do about it?
It was reported that your MEC told your management "NO" to what is basically a pay cut? This being said I'm presuming your time begins at parking brake drop?
Just looking for some info to pass along to the SkyWest pilot group.
Again this is not a jab at anybody or any pilot group.
Thanks for any info!
This was brought up to a group of us by the CP... Our response at first was, NOPE, then I said, well that's fine if you want to change our pay to DOOR CLOSE TO DOOR OPEN ONLY, my brake will stay set... Crickets... My brake is off as the door closes and doesn't go on after landing til I call for door open... you want me to sit unpaid for 3 hours (that constantly are turning into 5+ before the last leg home.... FUPM!. Grow some nuts and at least form an in house union OO... FUPM or find 4500 new pilots.. in 2 weeks...
