The COLA doesn't match today's inflation, and I suspect tomorrow's inflation. But, we currently have ZERO COLA through Dec 2010.
Also, to another post, the 170/175 jungle jet happens to match the seat count (give or take) the CRJ-700/900. Since we currently have a 51-99 seat rate, naming those planes precludes an E190/195 from showing up to be flown at the same rate. That's why we named it.
Had we just said 90 (or 88) seats or less, we could still fly a B717. Not that I would having think that would happen, but ya gotta cover your bases

Every time I jump into a 700 or 900 for the next few weeks will be at a STRAIGHT 200 rate.
Will I vote for it? Yes. It's not an emotional decision for me. It is more money, and for the majority, it's thousands of dollars more. And the company didn't have to offer it.
Is it what I thought it would be? No. It's bizarre that in a tiny number of situations, there is actually a small pay REDUCTION. And it doesn't meet or exceed ASA across the board, which I felt was an important mental barrier.
You guys argue unions, SAPA / SKW screwed ya, etc. I'm going to bed.

I'm feeling betrayed so I'll burn a bit more of Uncle Jerry's petrol. Of course it doesn't help the situation. Why should I care? They don't.

Man i swear we had this conversation 2 or 3 times back in november. Like Skywest would not give up anything better then matching what ASA has been given. Skywest wants animosity between the groups and they will give you guys just enough to sway the nonunion vote. I still swear that if both groups were union we would all be sitting in a much better place right now! We would have been the largest regional pilot group in the country and would have been able to negotiate a great contract. I just don't understand how skywest pilots don't see this, I hope that if it ever comes to vote again people will take a better look at it. ASA pilots respect Skywest pilots and we would much rather be working with you then pitted against you.
