Guys, slaphappy is a troll. Hit the little red/white triangle below his name to report him. All he does is post crap like this to get people going.

 

Yes because liking the airline you fly for and wanting them to grow is trolling

 

Whats wrong with that?

 

Nothing, that was my point. People say I'm a troll ect because I get VERY happy when skywest gets new flying. I should probably be sad that some ALPA carrier didn't get it.

I came from some crap-hole alpa carrier where they always wanted to "raise the bar" and "support our brothers". When all they really did was make our airline less attractive to other contracts and those "brothers" we were supporting by "holding out" would just undercut us. Thats why I don't care if X airline loses planes and we get them or if airline Y has to take a paycut. I care about MY airline and MY position and all this "we are brothers" bs is just that BS and most of my co-workers at Skywest feel the same way thus the reason why after 8 months the alpa drive is sagging. I'm sure we will see from our "brothers" at other airlines a level of hate and anger not yet seen when the drive fails.

 

I'm glad you like working for SkyWest. Because at the rate you guys (and RAH) are replacing mainline jobs there aren't going to be too many places left to go. How long before DAL is gonna have you guys flying MD-80s for a $3/hr override? I'm sure there are plenty of people like you who would be happy to do it. As long as your "regional" airline is growing, it must be good, right Slap?

 

we fly 70 seaters just like everyone else.

 

slaphappy youre exactly the reason people dont like skywest. i dont mind working for skywest but i do mind flying with jerks like you. you fly a freaking regional jet for low pay. there is no reason for you to be acting like youre better than everyone else. i hope you spend the rest of your life at skywest because you dont deserve union protection.

 

For now...

 

1) Our 50 seat pay is the highest out ther and our w2s are some of the highest in the industry!

2) and that last line wasn't very "brotherhoodish" of you.

 

I hope we get 100+ seaters. We have the payrate for them and its better than jetblues 190 rates
