Make no mistake those of you at skywest, if this purchase goes forth it will not benefit your pay or schedule (two of the biggest factors in a pilots life) at all. In fact it may make them worse.

Wasn't it a weird coincidence that when ASA FINALLY got their new CBA after YEARS of negotiating, the SkyWest pilots got an hourly raise shortly after?
Granted, that raise was not much to speak of, and it was LONG overdue. But a raise is a raise.

Well, another coincidence is that the sun came up on the morning of our payraise at SkyWest. More coincidences? I heard a bird chirp. Also, I saw a 1969 Corvette. Not sure which was responsible, but maybe all three !!!!
Oh, the one that is probably MOST coincidental ? We voted down ALPA. Call it a payola thank you.

what concerns me is how CAL thinks by SKW buying us, it will "reduce" our costs, I just hope its not by forcing concessions on our pilot group, such as training on days off, our vacation, and PBS...........
