Getting a SAD means next to nothing, but it still should be removed from CS hands.
I'm not helping out this summer, I don't even remember last summer. 8 hour local for double time...maybe.

Is there any accountability, audit, or oversight whatsoever by any independent party when it comes to this online voting website for the pay package?

I just went to cast my vote on the website, and my internet browser (Chrome) threw up a bunch of warnings about outdated encryption, and obsolete security settings.

Needless to say, this doesn't exactly engender confidence in the integrity of the vote. Am I alone on this one?

Hmmmmmn,
Lessseee, SKYW spends 1 million plus a year on SAPA. SAPA conducts "vote" on pay package worth a whole lot more than that. What do you think?

Checking in late is not grounds for a SAD unless there are operational consequences (late flight, missed DHD, reserve called out). If you're going to be more than ten late might be a good idea to call CS and tell them you'll be there in 15 or whatever so they don't call a reserve. Then ask them to transfer you to your crewmember and let him/her know so they can get the plane ready. Unless you're on their "ten most wanted list" they're more interested in the problem solving itself than handing out SADs.

Late check ins can be viewed by CP's and they can address it if they want. There once was a SLC CP who I'm sure you know was big on that, but I don't know of anyone else who seems to care as long as the flights go out on time.

I'm going to guess the opposite. EV squeaks out a tiny profit, and Inc post the best quarter profit since the acquisition of ExpressJet.

Read the SPs closely, everything is subject to the whim of a 19 year old Dixie College dropout. SADs are a tool for the SS minions to use for leverage, but by all means ignore the actual wording of the SPs listed, if it makes you feel better.

Frightened, not at all. 15 years here and I don't really give a hoot. Just don't agree with the philosophy that a person working in another department can hand out disciplinary action against a pilot.

Renegotiated contract with United for the EV 145s, more money in the short term for Inc with a faster draw down for UA. Add in a mild winter and better performance and less cancellations and I think EV came out in the green. 175s should start adding to the bottom line and added more profitable flying for DL. But it's all just a guess.
