Man, you’re wasting your time with that group. As the saying goes “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” I don’t get it anymore than you do

Dude, messy divorces and breakups have been part of aviation for the last 80 plus years. I highly doubt QOL at Skywest is the sole cause for all that.
There's many people in general who just don't get along with airline life. Stupid to blame people's personal problems on their job. In all honesty, many going through a divorce better be damn glad they have a job to deal with the aftermath.

The absolute garbage schedules for April are up, enjoy. If nothing else they should motivate you to GTFO.

I didn’t know things could suck as bad as they are!

We need trip and duty rigs badly!

And yesterday was a new personal record, 2 calls from CS, from 2 different schedulers, in 2 minutes, asking if I wanted to pick up 2 different trips for the generous 150% override!

I think this summer is going to be a disaster!

I just wonder what exactly you two think you are going to accomplish. We passed a horrible pay package. Most users here realize that and were quite vocal about it. Some of us are even trying to get ALPA on board. What is your endgame?

My marriage was not helped by the QOL erosion over the last two years. My wife was so shell shocked that she literally refused to believe it would be any better at a major. She's recovering now though.

Did you happen to notice the post I replied to? I’m basically saying that it isn’t going to do any good to keep bringing it up. You guys created this monster. Now you’ll have to live with it

It's simple, to get you guys to see the light of day and up your standards. You guys have 4500+ pilots and some great bases. I want SkyWest to help up the game for everyone. It's a competitive pilots market. If you guys are recruiting enough to hurt our recruiting, the company comes to us with more money. Ever hear the expression "A rising tide lifts all ships"? A lot of pilot groups are enjoying that. You guys come along and bored holes in our hulls by accepting such a lousy package.
