I guess it's all in how you define "an industry leader." ;)

Yes because of having no representation, thus having no real bite, we don't lead the industry in negotiations but you could say that we lead in industry in Kool-Aid drinking. LOL! :D

Well, I wouldn't have put it that way.

well this pay proposal is not going to infuriate the skw pilots and cause them to organize. that would just be way too ideal. instead theyll vote it in and continue to defend or justify the crap theyre being fed. and yes they are a leading regional airline, but i didnt say pay-wise.

even if you like where you work, you can still stand up every once in a while for yourselves. theres no shame in that.

I was just saying that I wouldn't say they are an industry leading regional. You can make an argument that they are but I wouldn't make it. And that is my point. Skywest is a good regional but it could've become a regional with top pay and work rules enforced by a contract and federal law and thus be indisputably, with no doubt about it, overwhelmingly, hands down, thee industry leader. That is what is sad about this.

not saying its THE leader, its A leader. and not because of pay or QOL, but because they have a huge amount of flying

Yep, yep, gotta give you that one as well.;)

And the best United rampers in the system!

Started a new thread with this, but since this seems to be the only thread being read on the subject:

------------------------------

I voted 'Decline' on the SKYW pay proposal this morning.

First of all, it is a net pay decrease for me, a 2nd year FO. A 0.32% [11 cent] increase in my base rate coupled with a decrease of 1% in BHO (from 6% to 5%)

I want first year FOs to get the 2.50/hr raise. I think it's a necessity to attract talent currently choosing other regional airlines with higher first year pay. I think the company will do this anyway. I don't want to pay for it, though. Management has negotiated a SAPA-certified way to pay for it -- via 2nd year FO pay.

If they want this passed, porking the 2nd year FO is pretty stupid since 2006 hires comprise a rather large hunk of the CRJ pilot group.

That's only my first reason.

I love SkyWest and encourage anyone to get on board, but a 1% COLA????? That's just blatently retarded. That's retarded to me and I haven't been here through the 'DEAL-ME-AN-ACE' and other pay freezes.

Why hasn't anyone considered doubling the OPS/PER awards percentage? That way if the company makes more money, we get more money. A fair way to get our share when times are good, and not screw ourselves when times are lean.
