I spent 12 years at Atlanta's Special Airline and that makes me LMAO. So true.

Ask them how you supposedly cost the company $340 an hour in pilot compensation alone.

That's what skywest bills xjet for us, then says we are to expensive:D:eek:

Not saying there isn’t some funny math in some areas, but $340/ hr for a crew ain’t too far off. If that is per seat, you’re right to question it.

$150/hr*1.5 for draft/ext coverage=$225+30%overhead (general average in all business)~$300.

Add in some $$ to cover ext bonuses and other costs and you’re pretty close to a plausible $340.

I’m gone from ASA now and I hate to see what’s happening to a great pilot group, but there are probably easier areas to cook books. For example, “IT services” is a nebulous term without hard numbers attached, pilots have pay charts with published numbers for comparison.

Plausible. Still not the wisest idea to toss that number at a bunch of AQP guys who've been upgraded, demoted, displaced, and are now watching their jobs circle the drain. Then again I lived though the unblinking Drew Bedson, the "It doesn't matter how we got here"/"$80 for a roll of ACARS paper" Scott Hall shenanigans, and the brilliance of the short-lived "SureJet" rebranding so I'd be a fool to expect anything less from the current regime.

Its monopoly money to them anyway. How does our $340/hr compare to Skywest and our other competition? Interesting that we are so expensive and can't compete when every other regional is handing over $10-20k just for walking in the door and sticking around for a few. Our rates are on the lower end of the spectrum too so they need to stop playing that card because its total bs
