Obviously you don't, because you go on to say:
With the way we rack up credit at Skywest, I'm not making that much less than I was as a 1st year FO at Horizon. No joke. Pay raise or not, I'll definitely have a better income my 2nd year. By a good margin.
Nonetheless, the proposal (aside from the 1st year pay increase) stinks, and indeed falls well short of what I was hoping for.

I'm quite certain you're much better off where you're at now. Where is that, by the way?

and tony no offense man but you are just one of the pawns of sapa.. the core of sapa is a bunch of guys that have been there FOREVER... they let a few new guys in because they feel like they can control them easier, hence your yes vote to send this to the pilots. if you would have voted no they still would have done it without you... like someons saying on here goes.. power isn't being able to choose, its giving the options.
The super-senior guys gave themselves a fat raise, and the company went along cheerfully because it's WAY cheaper to give a tiny handful of pilots a big raise than it is to give EVERYBODY a moderate raise.
But don't kid yourself, this phenomenon occurs at EVERY regional pilot group, union or not (I have seen this exact scenario played out at my last ALP{A carrier). It probably occurs at the majors too.
The only antidote for this situation is for a huge number of junior pilots to make a lot of noise about the situation and try to get the proposal revised before it goes to vote. I doubt that will happen in this case. Since SKW is not union, voting No will not accomplish much...the company will just go away nad come back to talk in 2-3 years.

If I missed the sarcasm I apologize.
In the mean time, you guys got what was coming. I have an entire crew of friends still at SKW and they all voted for ALPA, not because it was ALPA, but because it was a UNION that would allow them to COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN.
Sorry to say but you guys have really lost touch.

Is this a joke? If you're flying over guarantee it should be OT, i.e time-and-a-half.
