Schedule Reductions
 
Via SWOL. Not any surprise of course.


Team,

This week there have been a number of mainline carriers, including United, who have announced schedule reductions in April. These adjustments are largely being driven by uncertainty with demand related to COVID-19. As you know, the risk of being infected with COVID-19 is currently low in the U.S. and we are implementing changes that will continue to keep you and all those on our aircraft safe. We also want to keep you informed about what we are expecting for our upcoming schedules.

We have been reviewing schedules with our partners and expect to see a slight block hour reduction compared to what was originally planned. This reduction is largely targeting off-peak flights and banks that typically have the lowest demand. As you’re aware, April is generally a reduction over March’s peak schedules, and these changes are just slightly more reduced than we had originally scheduled. We expect that some flight schedule changes will be visible soon.

The health and safety of our people and passengers is our top priority. We continue working closely with our partners as well as the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization to monitor the virus and to ensure the continued safety of our people and passengers. We’ve created a section of SkyWest Online to make it easier to see the latest updates on this issue.

I want to thank you all for the work you are doing every day to take care of customers. We will continue to share updates as new information is available; keep an eye on SkyWest Online and for bulletins or other communication from your department leaders.

Thanks,

Chip

Enjoy the lower credit hours and extra time off. I’m sure some will even complain about that though!

I just noticed I had a carry on pairing into April that had legs canceled. At least there’s pay protections

Maybe my sarcasm meter is broken. You're not pay protected at this point for April flying.

Well that’s a kick in the balls. We wouldn’t be pay protected for an awarded pairing?

This is a small industry, do not take words from company and post them online.
Talk about this in your own words.
Maybe state an opinion.

Right? Why are you posting internal company info on a public forum. Those who need to see it, already have access. Might even be a PPM violation?

it's called drop in transition and is covered in the PPM.
those days you were scheduled to fly in April are now open for different trips or for days off. Just as those hours would have counted towards your 75 hour guarantee in April. At the end of april there will be no net difference in your pay between flying those days instead of any newly scheduled ones from the next PBS run.

My opinion is that you are delusional. Stop talking.
