Is this how SKYWEST PILOTS REALLY THINK?

Crj200/700/900 are all the same airplane. They pay us the same rate to reduce costs and get more flying and i'm Aok with that. Why do you have such a problem with it? Worry about your own company and let me worry about mine.

Is he serious?

It's rediculous, but most pilots don't really care if they get paid properly or not. They just want to fly. I have said this numerous times and people are still surprised when those like slaphappy say what they do.

Right or wrong, let's not attack a whole pilot group based on one anonymous member's post.

I have a lingering suspicion that slapphappy is actually a disgruntled ASA pilot who is acting as an agent provacateur to drum up resentment towards SKW pilots.

I haven't run into anybody like this in person that thinks like this, slaphappy's dad probably is a ramper for skywest and lets him read the company emails.

Or that at DL you will make the same whether flying a 757-200 or a 767-300...or that SWA pays the same for a 737-500 and the 737-700 which all have all have different seating capacities. Furthermore, the -900's that skywest has only have 70 seats and in the furture will only be configured for 76. There is an 'override' on the 700/900 as well, so essentially there is higher pay for them.

Nobody seems to be up in arms about the fact that a 727 captain and a 747 captain make the same money at this carrier? Or the fact that Fo's start at $33 an hour.
