Make the schedules more efficient. I enjoy working and when I go to work I expect to be paid for it. I would imagine that most pilots feel the same way. Our time is valuable. Do not waste it. Why is that so difficult to comprehend?
Since I've been hired my seniority has gone up about 400 numbers (I have not been here very long). That trend is expected to increase considerably over the next 2 years. The inefficient use of personnel will do nothing but degrade the financial performance of OO. This issue is not just about making people happy, it's about staying competitive in a volatile industry. This company has a reputation for taking care of its people and I believe that it is a good place to be; but its performance is in decline. I think that is due to a lack of effort.
Pilots are not the only employees who can become comfortable.

So now address the issue. Inefficiency. Why are the schedules so inefficient?

I've "been around" and Skypilot35 is absolutely right about the schedules! Getting tired of nothing but minimum guarantee trips or half your duty day credit and long unpaid sits everywhere.

Someone should sound the alarm down in SGU... On-time performance was terrible in December, just beating out Envoy which took the worst spot. SkyWest came in 11 out of 12 with only 67.2% of flights operating on-time. ExpressJet came in ranked 6 out of 12 with 76.0% of flights operating on-time, edging out United mainline that came in at 72.4%.
ExpressJet outperforming the almighty SkyWest should be alarming to those down in the desert.
I guess all those pep-talks from MT about, "just keep performing, and our partners will reward us," isn't exactly working.

Excluding special items, SkyWest's pre-tax income was $33.5 million for the December 2014 quarter, an increase of $18.4 million over the December 2013 quarter.
Anything else you would like to point out?

The company is slowly making progress increasing profitability, but it won't be a quick or easy process by any stretch.
