2nd. I, like the MAJORITY of skywest are VERY Happy with our current situtation and shows because that last alpa drive was frimly rejected by over 60%. We have 0 pilots on furlough and are crediting almost 90 hours a month, life is good for skywest pilots.

Lastly you can poke fun at us for having 70 seaters but as you've seen in the last two years your company has shrunk because they are still set on only flying an obsolete airplane, and for your information we do get paid more to fly the 70 seaters than the 50 seaters.

We're all RJ pilots and this is an entry level job.
So what flavor is the SkyWest kool-aid this month? Dude, get a clue. You guys are riding the coattails of every other carriers union negotiated contract....oh, and how are those medical benefits looking?

BTW, this is not a dig at all SKW pilots. Many of you get it, and I hope you are successful with the next union drive.
