What could Teamsters do at SKYW? Any thoughts from those that are represented by Teamsters
I dont believe teamsters could help you...look at GL they have been without a contract for at least five years....I believe that at GoJet we will also be without a contract, other than what management has given us, for years.
Why not just not worry about the pay......get your time and get out. There are three times as many mainline pilots than regionals. Your time will come.
One more point.....I love doing what I do for sixty dollars an hour. Driving a truck could never match the excitement. I think people lose track of why we do this job to begin with. Its because we love to fly.
