Side note, be careful with that username as it isn’t hard to figure out the real name behind it.
Just saying it doesn't seem gaurenteed that the company would offer something a third time.

BTW, reading your previous posts makes you sound like a little troll, posting on Envoy forums about bailing there to get the 45k bonus without knowing what’s required to be a DEC. Being on reserve and not knowing how it works (SADs) says a lot about how much research you put in this gig. If you even work here. Sound like a preteen full of pimples chatting from mama’s attic

Leaning no. Junior FO. It would be good for me short to medium term but not good enough in the long term. Though a step in the right direction it doesn’t address inflation.

When I upgrade I’ll be commuting to reserve, and though I don’t plan for it, could be at SkyWest for many years to come. I’m old enough to the have watched what happened after 2008.

The company will come back with a better offer and soon if it doesn’t pass. They will need to.

I like how people make life choices that decreases their own quality of life then expect SkyWest to correct their poor choices.

Nyet, I will not be responsible for making this company unable to compete. The 40k is irresponsible, swing and a miss.

What are you talking about? I'm talking about people complaining about "QOL" concessions, not their hourly rate.

You're looking at it the right way.

The best advice I ever got was: "I came here because Eastern shut down and I lost my job. I thought I'd be here for a year, maybe two. Now I'm 64 and about to retire. My advice is treat every flying job like it will be your last."
