Horizon pilots received a pay raise without ALPA, they did it with a union though. QX pay rates are still higher then Skywest, and that is with better insurance, flight benefits, profit sharing (PBP), and retirement benefits. It is easy to ignore the facts to believe in your own version of reality. At the end of the day your "contract" that is to be voted on is as much of a legal document as toilet paper is. It can and will be flushed down the toilet at the will of skywest holdings. I dont agree with ALPA's or the IBT's actions over the last 10 years, but skywest holdings is the largest regional in the world, and their pilots should be united in their effort to further the profession. The revenue generated by your flying is much greater then the CPA agreements pay, and some day the Legacies will have to share more of the revenue, or bring the flying back in house. Unless you want to be paid B scale wages for the rest of your career.

Does anybody know why apc shows $36/hr 2nd year jet, but people are saying second year jet is $37.15 now. Where did this bump come from? Always been there or did a previous agreement dictate it? Or is none of this factual?

The rates for SkyWest on this website are wrong. Search my post from yesterday for RJ rates for 2013/2014. They're in one of SkyWest threads.

That is one of the good things about the agreement. However, it will basically pay the same as what we currently have for the 900. Going beyond 2014, it should really help out. This year, the number of pilots that this will help is a very small number. And frankly most of them we're willing to bid an aircraft that didn't have an established pay rate -- so I'm not too concerned with them.

They fact that the Skywest pay proposal is still below the XJT TA keeps the whipsaw going. As long as one of the airlines is more expensive than the other (doesn't matter which one), they will always play one against the other. The ONLY what to eliminate this whipsaw is with one list. Unfortunately certain people don't want that.
