Ya'll won't ever be happy with SkyWest. All you need to do is respect our decisions. You complain that we're non-union. You complain that SAPA is a crock. You tell us "we told you so" when you got a BS pay raise on the table...a little respect on your parts would go a long way. Calling your regional better than mine is like saying you're the smartest kid on the short-bus.
For the record, ExperimentalAB you trusted that your CEO Jerry would be better than ALPA, but he is not. Unless you can explain how the pay proposal is acceptable.
Also, for the record:
I'm working my tail off here at SkyWest and admittedly don't have much of a life outside of work at the moment LoL...but working the system (and with a little bit of luck) I am blocking 99 hours and crediting 142 for the month...even on first-year pay that is a very nice paycheck. Conversely, during my short stint at Trans States I could expect to credit 95 hours w/a few more days off per month...
Just curious what one can expect to credit every month with the various Regionals...examples of being both pro-active, as well as lazy in regards to your schedule are welcome!

Do you just love Skywest, because to get by you have to work less than the min days off per month? Is that why you love it!? Well due to the fact that some of us do want to have "much of a life outside of work at the moment LoL..." I want to thank you again for not only whoring yourself out, but also for thinking its funny. LoL.

Can someone clarify for me? I'm new to this. So does this mean there is NO MORE Midwest at all? Or just the Skyway portion? I take it that means the Dorniers and 1900's are all gone, but the 717's still remain operated by Midwest...am I correct?

Skyway was Midwest's regional - SkyWest will now operate exclusively as the Connection side. Midwest will still be there...is that what you're asking?

I'm voting No for the "Payraise". Anything less than the cost of inflation is ridiculous. You guys really need to worry about the TSA's, Mesa's, Pinnacle's, and Gojets on here. When people are asking if they should work at Colgan it's surprising how many people will come on here and just say get your PIC that's all that matters. Stop worrying so much about skywest and focus on your ALPA brothers (and yes I did vote for ALPA). Cut the supply of Pilots off at these places and you will see pay come up. The regional industry needs a little consolidation.

I was just pointing out that the effective dues rate isn't necessarily 1.95%. I only bring it up because Jetjock was comparing Skywest pay with ASA pay minus the dues rate. I was trying to make it more of an apples to apples comparison. Don't you agree?
