Yeah and that fact that Skywest just had their propsal leaked, which was an increase on 70/90 seat rate for skywest as well as 50 seat rate doesn't help managements position on "pay cuts or else" either. I think its safe to say that the pilots won and we will get exactly what we want and we won't lose 1 airplane in the process.
Anyway about staffing levels at asa. Its so bad here that the ATR has 0 Captains on reserve and even has 1 relief line that wasn't filled. CRJ-700 Fo side in SLC is so empty there was hundreds of hours of open time up for grabs.
We just got a flica message that said CJ7 Pilots and ATR Pilots get 150% EXTRA pay for picking up open-time.
