Thanks jetjock.
Take a look at the ASA rates
http://airlinepilotcentral.com/airli...l-lcc/asa.html
They are almost identical. The only exception is first year pay is $22 at Skywest and $23 at ASA. Pay on the 700/900 is $1 an hour less at Skywest for years 10-18. Also, 2nd year FO is $1 an hour less at Skywest on the CRJ-700/900. Also, the 1% COLA is VERY weak. What is ASA getting in 2009 and 2010?
I would sent it back. Ask for $23 (or more) first year pay, and higher than ASA rates of the CRJ-700 since Skywest also flies the 900. COLA of 3%. I would worry less about the max captain rates because only 20 year lifers get that rate, while almost everyone goes through years 1-5. Worry about those years.
When can Skywest vote in ALPA?
I still will not bash Skywest for voting against ALPA (since they are still a good operation), but it may come out being your best choice in the long run.

wow.... that is bad guys..
our contract will be 8 years old in 2 months. in 2010 your 50 seat rj captains will average only $4.00 more per a hour than our captains that are using a 8 year old contract... that is crazy! by then our contract would be 10 years old!!! 4 dollars for 10 years??? wow... and pinnacle is supposedly a bottom feeder..
and by looking at the payscales i would venture to guess that the guys in sapa that put this out have been there 20 years and decided to give themselves a nice little 7 percent rais while almost everyone else gets 2 percent.
