Cool story, bro.
I'll have your crow ready for you.
Not at Delta but he did give an indication of what airline he is flying for. I have always found MatchPoint's post well thought out when he was working for SkyWest and glad to hear that scope relief for a couple bucks won't be a yes vote now that he is a mainline pilot.
You have to understand that some pilots want industry improvement. Sure they want Sky West to do well, but contracts that are being awarded indicate that mainline partners would rather make more money then award a contract to a senior based airline. Sky West could make some pretty easy changes that would improve pilot QOL, but since that's not the "way we have always done it" they get pushed back. Maybe this little shake up will be some fresh ideas in at mecca. We are going to need everything we can get with other airlines anticipating 2 year upgrades to hire and retain pilots.
I hope you are right NVUS. I like working for Sky West and I hope there are good things on the horizon for us. All I know is that this is not the company I worked so hard to get to, and I have seen a gradual decline in my 8 years here. Since I didn't work here when things were really good, it will make it that much easier when I leave for mainline.
