As it stands now your pilot group is just sitting there waiting for the ASA/Express Jet contract to give you a nice raise..
My apologies. I was looking at FO rates which are still some of the highest in the industry. CA rates are industry average. Our workrules are still great but I'm not sure how that compares with every other regional out there.
SKW had a 3:45 min day, 2:1 duty rig, 1:1 rig over 12 hours, and profit sharing plan years before ASA. ASA has their workrules because of SKW so who helped who back in 2007? Does ASA even get SKW's generous holiday pay to everyone at the company regardless of who actually works?
