But, an anonymous person needed that to be true for him to validate his vote. It must be true. Skywest scabs!

You don't need job security at a regional if you have a plan b. Everyone at a regional, including Skywest with whatever job security you think you have there (none), should have a plan b.

Ok, I was just taking issue with your use of the word "all" in your statement. Although I think envoy, horizon, awac all have better retirement and health benefits than Skywest.

Just go away bro. Nobody likes you.

Typical response in this thread. If you don't like what someone says, tell them nobody likes them and to go away. What's with Skywest pilots' propensity to do that when someone goes against the kool aid?

Actually it was an appropriate response to the guy saying Skywest is the worst offender for undercutting. That was a ridiculous thing for him to say - Captain Obvious

I apologize. I thought he was referring to Skywest pilots flying crj700 for CRJ200 rates for years.

Regardless, it's what you guys do on this thread when someone says something against Skywest you guys don't agree with.

Change "someone" to "I".

Close, remember the BHO, Block Hour Override or the Brad Holt cOrnholing rate, was and is how we are paid. But don't let accuracy cloud your rhetoric.

I'll be the first to point out that we have things here that really should be changed for the better that won't be, as a result of our labor situation, but I'll also point out unfair attacks by uninformed outsiders.

To you and too many others on this board that automatically draws cries of kool aid drinking.

Yes I'm saying other regionals benefits are much better than Skywest. That is no secret. You don't have to look any further than XJT. Why do you think INC ins trying to bring their benefits down to our crappy level? 9E has much better insurance and retirement.

There are other factors to consider but saying our pay scales are industry leading is a joke.

I'm not sure on their insurance, but Endeavor's pay is a joke. A 7 year FO friend of mine there takes home $2500-$3000 per month. I'll take lesser insurance that has a cap to make 50% more take home.

It's also a joke how 85% of them sold every FO down the river for nothing (until they upgrade).

You do actually have to look further than XJT because XJT is the only one with higher pay. They also have to pay Union dues subtracting from that pay. Comparing Slywest to Endeavor is a joke. Their contract is so bad that they can't get anyone to apply there. FO pay scale tops out at $37. Skywest 2nd year pay is $37.15.
