Been in their jumpseat a bunch of times. Always super friendly and a happy bunch. Congrats guys. I cant figure out why an airline like skywest with no union and a better contract than PSA,PDT,ENVR,ENVY says no and those union carriers bend over. I'm sure they all had reason to bend over right? Like "they were going to shut us down" or something?

Does anyone else find this funny coming from a PSA guy? What a hypocrite.

First of all, I didn't work at PSA when the vote happened, but...

How many PSA guys voted yes? Answer: just over 100.

How many SkyWest guys voted yes? Answer: Over 1000

Also, PSA voted "NO" twice!

This vote was just symbolic for SkyWest anyways, because there is no union and the company can just do it anyway.

Big difference.

You went to work for PSA, same thing as voting yes. Sad!

Going to work for PSA for the rates they pay is just like voting yes for the rates.

18 months with the company and you are making $68,000 a year. If you are prior 121, you can make that in 6 months. Lets see SkyWest do that. We have comparable salaries, but a much better quality of life. We have the best schedule flexibility anywhere.

Just commenting that SkyWest pilots are celebrating that they only have 1100 pilots that voted yes. That is sad.
