Remember that even GoJet has "adequate, good, qualified employees." This statement has no merit seeing that every carrier must obtain at least this to operate. SKW (as I'm sure SWA & XJT do) understands that maintaining levels far beyond that of adequate or good results in outstanding performance which intern has a large indirect effect on the “Bottom Line;” and as we all know the “Bottom Line” is what Mgmnt and their shareholders care about.
We work hard for our airline and they reward us. Yes it could and needs to be more, but it always can be more.
Look, my only point is that Skywest management does not deny that other unionized employee groups puts pressure on them to increase pay and benefits to attract employees. Skywest pilots are unable to participate on these pressures to help increase pay and benefits for themselves and the rest of the industry since they don't have any leverage and therefore no real good faith bargaining happens. I was just lamenting the fact that most pilots there don't agree with their own management on this. Thats all.
