By full of red I didn't mean the red arrows. Look on schedplus. A trip that is in open time that is red means "Added incentive from Crew Support" IE time and a half. On another note, I was unaware that the abbr. training deal didn't go thru. During my last PC the sim instructors were talking about it. BTW, I do realize they don't know everthing:)

Oh yea those! I've seen 2 in the last year in ORD. Forgive me for my mental slip since it never happens anymore. HA HA HA!

The abbreviated training program DID go through I repeat it DID go through. If needed it IS available at SkyWest. And yes I do have so first hand knowledge of this fact and have verified it.

Well hopefully they will hire some new people sometime soon. I've been moving up a little here a little there for awhile now, and being unable to drop things now I have a feeling its only going to get worse as the summer comes along and as the new 700s keep coming...

I just hate that their philosophy is that every reserve should work 74:59 every month. They go around saying things like:
"I wish I had 10 days off per month" - Jerry; Or
"I wish I only had to work 4 days a week" - Anita
They are so out of touch that they don't realize that running everybody so tight is taking a toll on family life. It is causing breakups, divorces, you name it. Then again, I guess they don't care either. It must be nice to be able to see your family EVERY DAY after work, and sleep in your own bed EVERY NIGHT...

Is it possible that they are running the company lean now because they see a decrease in flying coming in the fall and don't want to face the furlough problem then?

AMEN brother!!

good points!!

I wish I got paid for all the time I was doing my job, not just the time the door is closed. Anita likely works a 40 hour week, 160 a month and gets paid for 160 a month, I on the other hand work 10-16 hours a day and get paid for 3:45 and 75 hours a month. But I did just get to do a triple Elko overnight 4 day so I got that goin for me, which is nice.

Newty,

You will take your $1.65 an hour for working when the door is open and YOU WILL LIKE IT! Oh and BTW who REALLY needs to see their family more than a few hours a week and sleep in their own house? You don't really have anything that needs to get done at home do you? Your whole like is SKYWEST, right?

When I heard comments like this I was FIRED UP! 10 days off a month for me when comparing my schedule to Jerry or Anita would be like 4 days off. WHAT CRAP!@!!!!!

I was honestly surprised to read that Jerry would say something like that.

Think about this for a minute, Anita. For the month of March, I was away from base (home) for 301 hours, and got paid for 73:58. Sweet deal, right? Us pilots are sooooooo spoiled!!
