Yeah, it's nice to have a bonus, and SkyWest has cleaned this place up, but we at ASA are sick and tired of seeing SkyWest Airlines get all the glory. We furlough while you expand in our only hub. Our parent company posts impressive profits, yet your share is twice ours. We fight 5 years for a raise, and your management simply matches it.
Let me know when you pull your head out and get the big picture. ASA is a second class citizen in the SKW family. And no, we never asked to be part of it. What you don't seem to understand is that when this pilot group gets ****ed off enough and burns the place down (new contract in 16 months) we'll take you guys down with us.
Expand?
Lets keep it real. We got the lines reduces by 50% from the top in ATL. For Agust the FO lines in ATL for Skyw are down to 11 (22 is the most lines we had in ATL).
Profit Share?
If our share is twice it is because our earn was twice your for the company. I am sure we only get bonus for our part of the profit.
Matches the raise?
They stil pay you guys a bit more.
So you expect our parent company to go out buy another company with the money we made for them and then pay the "new guys" more than they pay us?
Sure they had to match it as much as possible.
Burn down the place?
Well then you probably would end at the same spot....... as if Skywest Inc never bought ASA.
