I know! Which is what surprised me about this call. Skywest has been the leading airline for United and Delta and now I'm certain they are the leading for Airways and American. But, at the same time, this does not come as a surprise, especially with the way Delta has been "trimming the fat" at other such as Endevour, or Pinnacle (whatever their name is), and equally how AA has done with Eagle. I don't know, its all numbers and speculation. But who knows.

I just heard something similar...that SkyWest was approaching the pilot group to reduce pay to increase profitability. If this is true, then it must be XJT draining the SkyWest bank account, and eventually, only one will survive...Who knows though...It's anyone's guess and definitely the stronger CEO's desire more money...

Im sure it would be a concession. After all, XJT is union and SKW is not. XJT wouldnt want that anyways, because the union is there after all, to protect the pilots. SKW has all the power and all the control. They theoretically, are the fat kid with the magnifying glass over the ant hill...When I was there though, it was a great experience and a great company to work for and with. They always seemed to want to help you, but the longer you were there, the more they took advantage.

Easy with the situation fellas! We are all pilots here...whats the plan ahead? Get to a major! I don't wish cuts on anyone. And I surely don't wish any decline of any of my brethren pilots. Some of us are out of work, and others are gainfully employed at regionals and majors just the same. We must all work together and support one another. I have not tried to insult anyone pilot or airline, and my apologies if I have. Support is what we need, and we must all support one another.

Can some one give an example of typical reserve schedules at express jet? I'm mainly looking to figure out how many times per month I would have to commute back and forth per month.

We got an email yesterday from the union:
A potential contract violation was discovered during a recent review of ExpressJet CRJ health insurance data. You should be aware that our contract limits the percentage of health and dental premiums that a pilot is responsible for to 30%. Section 28.A.3. reads: “A pilot will not be required to contribute more than thirty percent (30%) of the cost of coverage under the Group Medical plan and/or Group Dental Plan.” A review of the 2013 PPO premiums shows that the pilots are paying 36% of the total monthly premiums. By our estimates, the pilots on the PPO plan are being required to overpay their monthly premiums by the following amounts: SINGLE - $20.94/month 2-PARTY - $49.88/month FAMILY - $62.69/month Based on the current number of pilots enrolled in these plans, it appears the Company will have overcharged the pilots in the PPO $559,810 by year’s end. Perhaps what is most disappointing is the PPO monthly premiums actually went down from 2012 to 2013, but The Company assumed those savings and increased the pilots’ monthly premiums as well. The MEC is preparing a group grievance on the pilots’ behalf. Take heed anyone considering coming here. This is how they treat us. This is how little they value their employees. Stay far, far away from this sinking ship. |
I'm looking for some most recent interview gouges.
How much time does it take to receive a phone call to schedule an interview? |

Please show your support for PSA pilots in their upcoming vote on their concessionary contract. The TA bullet points are posted at www.stopthewhipsaw.com They need to know this is not the time to lower the bar in this industry. We are not interns. |

PSA is about to take it too if we don't stand up and let these guys know we all will stand up to prevent the bar from being lowered farther.

Hi cws 1028, any chance you can take a minute or two to share any info about the tests you have to take at the interview. What books should I read, ATP stuff, or something more? Thanks!
Google "Delta Sheppard Air" too and look at the PDF that comes up. That handout is great! |

Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot and Turbine Pilots Manual did a pretty good job. I got Aerodynamics for naval aviators, but that one will put you to sleep pretty fast. Don't study too much ATP stuff, its a different type of questions.
