Zero job security. Why would anyone stay?

I know of several that were 2012 hires, that have quit. Most newhires only need currency now, as they are "recycled" airline pilots that don't need any sort of time building. What is the incentive to stay, while pay remains rediculous on probation, as do the working conditions on reserve??? I do not blame them a bit for leaving.

Assuming they left for another regional, which one has more security than Xjt/SKYW?

Any news on the contract? I have been hearing that the union is going to cave on dual qual. This after " it was not safe" stance. Also with the new rest rules we are going to have to work an extra 2 days per month to maintain productivity with 5 day trips. Top that off with people quitting or not showing up for class after being hired. There is only a few people in the applicant pool. The reserve list is always depleted. A lot of people are now looking elsewhere to get out of here. But yet CT thinks its all good. G.O won't be saying that anymore in the next few years....

I was told by a union insider that dual qual is a done deal, the only question is the pay. And from what I was told about what's being talked about at the table, pilots currently on the 700/900 are going to get hosed. Company wants pay banding (seniority%) like in the XJT arbitration award. Union wants to "settle" for a SKW type override. Either one will force current 700 pilots to take a pay cut. Automatic TA fail, IMO.

Don't mix up Skywest with XJT. Period. Skywest is NON-UNION. They are the winners in the latest race to the bottom.
