Can any Skywest pilots can jump in and let me know how pay changes work at Skywest.
Thanks.
Basically the company can chose to award raises at their convenience, or they can negotiate (or not negotiate) at their convenience. Nothing is guaranteed, but so far SKW mgmnt. has maintained reasonable standards and not turned the place into mesa-II. It's a benevolent dictatorship, and I think it's likely to stay that way
