Default News on the new Skywest pay package

Any news on the new Skywest pay package that just passed?

Now that we have Regional sub-forums, I figured I would start a separate thread, instead of making people read through hundreds of posts on the now antequated and long Skywest 2.0 thread.

It's only passed at the SAPA level not voted on by pilots yet. Seems like a 1% raise, and soft landings (ppl can come to Skywest and maintain longevity e.g. 10 year republic FO can be 10 year FO day one at Skywest) . Not many details are available but so far seems like a tiny raise to maybe get more flying.

Soft landing for OTHER airlines??? WTF???

How about we start them at year one pay and use that money to give a raise to folks who have put in ten years at SKW???

I might be OK with that for XJT. Maybe.

Passed the reps 18-1.. No details for a week or so.. if i was to guess. Better profit sharing, better 401k. Probably some soft landing program.. but bet pay rate raises are slim, but they make up for it in the guaranteed profit program..

Soft landing pay for OAL guys would be an absolute joke.. like you say - MAYBE XJT... maybe.

It must be quite the privilege to be allowed to work at such an esteemed place... as long as they don't nix the turkey. Or maybe make soft landers/new hires buy it for everybody else

How are you guys assuming it's a tiny raise? We literally have heard nothing and people keep making these assumptions. Why would sapa vote 18-1 on a tiny raise?

I just don't understand people that keep saying "this is crap" when the email literally said no details at all.....

And I understand history repeats itself but people already have pitchforks armed and fires started!!! Why are people arguing and getting frustrated over rumors and a vaguely written email...nothing to talk about. They shouldn't even have sent the email.

Soft landings is already in the PPM for ex "SkyWest Inc." pilots - e.g. ExpressJet...

Curious if you live in a domicile why would rank and file trade pay for more flying? We already have more flying than we can cover... ie, never enough reserves to drop trips. Wouldn't more flying make this worse. And where would the aircrafts come from? The desert? Oh boy!

Profit sharing is nice, but I'd rather have a straight-up raise that's not as subject to economic conditions. Or win-win items like max per diem.
