My guess is this pay package will pass by 75% of those who vote.
What have you been looking at? Express, ASA , Eagle all make substantially more.. Congrats though you are doing better than Mesa, and all the other carriers that had their contracts handed to them in bankruptcy. The only reason skywest has the rates they do is because ASA ALPA gets what they do.. We would be all better off if you guys could raise the bar on your own.. As it stands now your pilot group is just sitting there waiting for the ASA/Express Jet contract to give you a nice raise..
