I don't care what you say, no regional reserve guarantee is more than 75 hours/month. it is not fair to talk about lineholders because once you are a lineholder, you usually always go over guarantee and at least where I work you get time and a half for it! I was talking about a reserve pilot! I understand that living on the west coast, that unless you want an 11 year upgrade like at horizon, that there are not too many good choices of regionals and skywest is easily the best. And your union blast, what if your roles were reversed with the ASA guys and you got the short end of the stick? I don't think you would be praising the almighty Skywest ideology like you were earlier. these guys and gals have lives outside of flying and they are really getting the shot end of the stick! I am not saying that the pilot group has much to do with that but it just shows how management values the almighty $$$$$ over their employees happiness.

The people that work there don't even realize how bad they have it but the work rules and pay are not good! People may argue that the pay scale is slightly higher than most but it is just a facade! that is how they fool you! they don't have duty or trip rigs which makes a huge difference in your paycheck. they have a bidding system that only benefits the senior people in the company. High priced benefits for your family, No trip touching when it comes to vacation, unless you plan on moving they have no commuter clause, reduced pay in training, double occupancy in hotels, pay for your own jepps. Yeah guys, it really sounds like a great place to work! I heard their INTVW is like five stages long! Come on, do these recruiters realize that your interviewing for a $19/hr regional job and not a major!. No union protection, so plan on being fired at any moment with no say in it! Plus, with how short they are on people plan on being junior-manned nonstop! Don't be drawn in by the shiny looking jet! I guarantee you'll live to regret it later!!!! You've worked way too hard to get to this point, don't sell yourself out to a company that will do whatever it takes to pay you less! Hold out for a company that does'nt keep lowering the standard like i.e. xjt, comair, awac, or horizon!
