They then use that to avoid paying their pilots both their bonuses and their normal "contractual" pay in the PPM. As usual, SAPA doesn't challenge or shed light on any of this and they will continue defend the company at the end of the day because there are consequences for AA if he doesn't fall in line. The fact that ALPA is the one who brings this into the spotlight and is the one advocating on the behalf of SkyWest pilots for this issue should be flat out embarrassing to SAPA.

SkyWest shouldn't be able to prostitute the American taxpayer and then run away when they can't hold up their end of the deal anymore. They should have to pull out of mainline partner contracts to right-size the airline. That will fix their staffing issues all the same and collectively help more SkyWest pilots move on to their legacy carrier of choice by bringing more flying back to mainline. At the end of the day SkyWest, and Skywest alone, should be bearing the burden of this. They've spent too many years pushing their problems down to line pilots.

Employer of Choice, right?
