They can. It's just not currently important enough to them, or they would.

 

Oh, I agree. I'm not saying they can't. I'm saying they haven't! They need to improve this crap system.

 

I hope you all enjoy your $60 Q1 payout. For me that was $38 after taxes. TFAYD

 

YES! There's this pair of shoes I've been eyeing down at the goodwill store.....I hope there're still there

 

Skywest Earnings call is live. Summary so far:

Skywest Airlines: Very good quarter

ExpressJet Airlines: Very bad quarter due to winter storms

 

Brad Rich seems to allude that most of ExpressJet's losses came on the Legacy ExpressJet side due to weather and poor spare aircraft ratios.

Only 50% of merger synergies have been met. Majority of the remaining synergies dependent on labor JCBAs

 

Earned $3.2 mil 1Q.

 

30 E175 ordered by United not coming to Skywest Inc. Management believes United will need alot more than 30 aircraft, and thinks that move by United was them trying to diversify their UAX partners

Skywest Airlines earnings doubled due to the success of its pro-rate flying agreements

Yes, Skywest Inc earnings. 10Q showing Skywest Airlines and ExpressJet Airlines individual earnings will be released in a few days

 

It is better than nothing. That is $60 or $XX every quarter I get for just showing up to work and doing my job. Ask around the regional world and see how many other regionals still give performance bonuses. You won't find a whole lot. I used to b!tch about it, too, but it's extra beer money.

 

Perspective.

That post tax amount pales in comparison to how much is CHRONICALLY underpaid due to the cluster-foxtrot abortion that is Painmaker. I mean, Rainmaker.

And ALL the time, effort, energy, and UNPAID time that goes into tracking pay, making crew comments, IOR's, unanswered emails, etc etc etc JUST TRYING TO GET PAID CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!

TFAYD, give us a year, just because we don't always get it right doesn't mean we aren't trying...........

Pick whatever lame excuse you wish that management used to justify their complete lack of competence and ability to simply pay people correctly.

^^^^^^^^This.

As far as payroll screwups, it's just easier to NOT fix it and pay people incorrectly. The amount they save, even if it's only a dollar here or there by not paying correctly by the crew members that don't catch exceeds those that do catch it. And spend all sorts of unpaid time getting the company to pay it out.
