Everybody see the most recent last minute plea email from MT?
Sounds like they are really concerned about the pay package not passing.

A rejection of the pay package would be the proof that their "new emperor style" clothing isn't as cool as they think.
The very things he is touting as significant, are, if you are Skywest Airlines, not so much if you are, the help. I went back and re-read the plea, it's kinda desperate, actually quite sad. It would almost be significant if he had communicated with the pilot group, instead of assuming that we would be happy with crumbs. My sympathy drawer is quite empty, to quote some other guys, FUPM.

I have the luxury of not being afraid (or bitter), of my company ceasing to exist at least. That's because I have a fall back plan. And it's no accident that I do. I only wished that others did as well so that they can make decisions based on fact and principles (assuming they have any) instead of emotion.
Are you a Skywest pilot?

I'm just asking a question. I didn't intend for you to get defensive about it. I'm curious if you are a pilot at Skywest or any other regional for that matter? Or are you a dispatcher or something else for Skywest? I honestly don't think that the supposed Skywest dispatchers on this board are really dispatchers. So which is it? No judging, promise.

People don't understand they think there is growth to be gained by voting yes on this. It's not possible, scope limits what we will get, Every major wants rid of 50 seaters which we're loaded with, and our 175's are a replacement for 2 50 seaters which helps staffing. Don't be scared to say no to this package we're still going to be needed by Skywest and our mainline partners. Vote for what you think you're worth not some easily manipulated garbage profit sharing plan.

I don't think he's scared, just figured for the price of an e-mail and 3 minutes of his time on Sunday night he can probably swing another 30 votes his way. This one might be close.

I predict 83 percent voter turnout with a 70 no vote.
Hope it's not the typical 33 percent voter turnout!

They are sending guys to Paris for sim, the chokepoint is now sims and training lead time.
