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

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

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

That was leaked to the media to try to stop the mass Exodus of pilot's.
