The VP of Operations, Steve Briner, had announced his plan to terminate the pilot in an email shortly after the leave started and instructed Chief Pilot Randy Bratcher and base manager Tracey Ryan not to communicate with him by phone or email. They complied.

The judge awarded 376,000 in backpay and similar damages and also stated he would be awarding future damages. He requested more information on the difference between Gojet Captain pay and Skywest FO pay.

In Gojet's filing, they stated that an 11 year Gojet captain would earn $428,004 over the next 5 years and a 4th year Skywest FO who stays an FO, will earn $377,321 so that the difference will only be $50,683.

Breaking Gojet's numbers down to per month means, an 11 year Gojet Captain will make 844 less than a 4 year Skywest FO per month.

I wonder what the projected earnings of a Gojet new hire versus a Skywest new hire are?
