Is XJT getting ipads?? If not then that’s another sign a sell my be pending. Why would inc spend the money on new devices...

They don’t seem to be spending any money on us. Period.

This is definitely a clear turning point for this airline. It basically seems the union is presenting this as:
YES vote - 175s and a “secret contingency” United buys a majority stake
NO vote - status quo, current trajectory into the ground

VOTE YES!! Wink Wink**

I worded my statement poorly. I meant to say if the contingency DOESN’T happen. In other words, if INC doesn’t own a majority in January, then I think it means good things and new hires will come.

You can’t really blame the xjt side. The asa MEC is responsible to communicate with the pilots they represent.

Can you cut and paste the bonus language from your “contract” so that people can finally fairly compare the two.




Actually, it seems that the language of the QED is to have Skywest pilots fall for SGU’s trap. The QED will pay out if you average 70 credit hours a month. Minimum guarantee is 75 hours. So you literally can just fly your awarded line (or call in sick or have vacation) and get 100% of that money regardless of profits, performance, multipliers, or how much anyone else flies (the TA also keeps the profit sharing and the performance bonuses). The QED is purely for OPTICS aimed at the Skywest pilot to make them think their compensation is higher.


Xjt’s 410k match is 100% match of:
0-4 YOS 4%
5-9 YOS 5%
10+ YOS 6%

What is it for Skywest and is it at 100%?

Since republic was brought up... I created this for you.

"Current Rates" for YX are what we went to when we voted in our LoA this past January. Our 2020 Rates are the last rate increase for the LOA, but we begin early negotiations at that point. Also worth pointing out is that your 50 seat Rates, which is the majority of your flying does not even match our 50 seat Rates which were negotiated in 2015.

I added two simple comparisons at the bottom. However, they are not 100% accurate. At republic we also have premium pay (paid at 125%) for all flight/Deadhead hours over 87hrs for the month, which is not included on the 95hr/mo example. There is no way to fairly add that in as we have trip/duty/min day rigs and it's quite possible to credit say 95hrs but only flown/deadheaded for say 80, which would not trigger that premium pay.

While your bonus puts you slightly ahead of our current Rates, (remember we have a rate hike in 2.5 Months), you would be better off with having no bonus and that money added into your hourly rate.

We also have higher per diem Rates @ 2.05 dom, 2.50 intl.

This is not republic or endeavor, if this contract is passed there is a good chance united will buy ExpressJet. They wan cheap labor to tell investors they are getting a good deal.

OOs 401k

0-4=4%
5-9=6%
10-14=8%
15+=10%

Our profit sharing has a guaranteed payout, it has always been much higher than the guarantee.

I don't think we necessarily think our compensation is better, but we turned down an off that is far superior to what they offered you guys.

It’s ridiculous to compare the two, at all. You’re 4 times the size of us, and won’t be shut down if you vote down a TA.
