You mean the company-funded SkyWest Student Council agreed with The Company?
What choice do they really have? They have zero bargaining power.
I'm surprised SkyWest didn't offer an extra year of longevity credit for pilots who jump from the union-represented subsidiary to the non-union SkyWest.
On the face, this looks like an infringement on seniority. However, since it means pay rate increases (and more dues income) for some pilots, I'm not surprised ALPA supported it.
Nice way to divide the pilots. Why negotiate a pay raise for everyone if you can negotiate a pay raise for just some pilots, right?
It should lead to some very interesting cockpit discussions. Who gets to pick up the bar tab?

If the Student Council dreamed it up, I'm not surprised. American Airlines introduced the "B" Scale and suffered the revenge of the Killer B's. Now we'll have B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K scales.
Brilliant.

I don't know who you mean by "you guys" -- it certainly wasn't me.

How does it infringe on seniority when all of them start at the bottom of the seniority list?
If I fly with one of them, it won't affect me one bit. I'll be happy for the guy for not having to start over at first year pay. And I'll still buy the first round.
