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....

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.

How about dual qual with current 700 rates as the base rate and an override for 700/900 flying? Is that still a 'No' vote?

If 700/900 rates are the base, then what's the override? 700 pay + some extra?

This pay banding and seniority based pay XJT crap isn't going to work. I can't imagine that going to a vote and passing. Here comes the fear from management and our "options" for concessions again.
