15 900s ordered by American, is Mesa getting these?

Probably PSA.

I just got assigned a pairing via "proffering" for the first time. I thought you could only get "proffered" if you signed up to be "proffered" on sked+? Just looking for a little clarity on it or point me in a direction where to go read about it.

Not complaining, happy to fly the pairing, just curious how this works. I've had my head in the sand for a while since I got hired elsewhere, but I just found out my new employer isn't doing any classes this year so I figured I should pull my head back out and figure this thing out.

Thanks!

All reserves are subject to proffered trips the way SAPA wrote the policy.
Cuts down on 150% trips floating around.

If you ask for proffered trips you will get them ahead of someone senior to you who didn’t. But yeah big win for SGU making skyw the worst reserve experience in the industry.

So how is it that they wrote the policy? How can the pilots be taken advantage of so badly with no benefit to them? How did nobody on the pilot group end catch the loophole?

The way SkyWest pilots keep telling me it's such an awesome place to work because of culture, work rules etc. it makes sense. Though to be fair it seems those days are gone as anyone with less than 3 years seniority doesn't glow about it.

I've read what was submitted by SAPA to the company, it couldn't have been written any worse than it is. Sadly as soon as the ink was dry, screw scheduling knew exactly how it was going to play out. TG and AS are very aware the pilots are livid but there is no turning back, they love it and they don't care. This interpretation of the 117 rules and the new extended delay program can basically add a day in front of your work period and a day at the end of it.

When you have a management team motivated by greed you will understand the direction SkyWest is going.
