Well on subject now-Congrats to Skywest, as the person above stated, that is alot of money for a Regional or excuse me National(as listed on APC)
. I hope you guys/gals out there don't just settle for what they offer you if it's not what you feel you deserve. Remember you are the reason that the company makes money, without the pilot group there is no airline.Congratulations!!!!!
How can they "settle" for anything when they don't have real bargaining?

Skywest has been thee most successful regional with the best balance sheet and future. What is wrong with the pilots feeling they deserve just a little bit more?

I do think it's a sham the extreme upper level management make millions in stock options. That just is not fair, and it has gotten out of control in America.
So its okay for pilots to get paid the same as a mid level manager but not okay for the upper management to get paid what they get paid. Skywest upper management obviously knows what they are doing. Instead of bringing people down, maybe some need to focus on pulling people up. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of class envy.
