There’s probably less than 10 actual language violations that are driving all the disputes. The contract is the only reason they do that. Go try corporate 135 when you hit 65.
You are correct, yet this is misleading w/o context. No one is arguing if we're paid on time or the correct rate or sick pay or those other wrote actions that every airline in America gets (including regionals). Does Skywest have a problem paying the correct per diem? Does anyone? No one is bringing up 135 - none of us work there.
We have the highest grievance total in 121 and it's not close. 1,671 as of March. Reason is that the company often violates the contract in specific areas - namely scheduling, hotel rooms, PBS, etc. You mention 98% while everyone else is 99.9%.
If we're comparing airline companies by manner in which they comply w/ the contract, F9 would be at the bottom of that list.
