You said: You do not have to disclose employment at Skywest if you wash out from training.

Depends on what you wash out for? We had a guy in our class never fail a PRIA, he used up all his sim time in maneuvers, never got signed off, asked to resign. (Ended up at expressjet, yikes)

You still want to lock that answer? I would love you to say that at an airline interview, especially after 5Y3591.

I’d say you’re lying on your next interview if you hide around the stance that you resigned. But that’s up to the individual if he wants to be truthful or not, and that individual will have to live with the consequences if his new employer decides to dig further.

And I'm still waiting for your answer about our MEC and how you know what they think about the flow. Want to expand that a bit more?

Why even include flow time in the seniority list? Do you really need to know your flow time every month, probably not, but I’d say it’s a reminder that potential glory is at the end of the tunnel.

And while we are at it, you are saying you took no concessions. Did your LOA/MOU or whatever it was called say the company can involuntarily junior man pilots to VTO if they don't have enough takers?

The answer is NO, we did not take concessions. No matter how hard you to try to spin it, the answer is still No. NOBODY has been junior manned onto VTO.

Side note: The pilots who took the Paid time off (55 hours of guaranteed credit per month I believe) for the most part have high paying secondary incomes and absolutely love the VTO/PTO program. Most are probably making more money now then precovid. So I wouldn’t bash that program to hard, it’s a win-win for everyone involved.

It seems to me you’re losing sight of that, you shouldn’t give a rats a** about who furloughed less or who can hire more. Who gets one base and who doesn’t. We are getting set up to go against each other. And while SKW may have the awesome 5000+ pilot group you have, just wait until the big three starts messing with your company and your pilot group, and the race to the bottom begins. Your company knows how to cost cut and when to be ruthless, just like ours does.

We stood up to the company to keep our rates that we fought hard for, as a cadet I would have understood too despite how frustrating that is. Additionally, you cannot blame the company for cost cutting either. It’s a fluid situation and it sucks having to watch my friends get furloughed. But again, this could possibly get bigger than “who furloughed who, my regional is better than yours” over the course of this year.

​Your response will be much highly appreciated as I'm asking for a friend.

I do think that the RTPs won't carry the same weight going forward as the cadet market should more than support Envoy hiring for at least a year out.
