Not everyone. The regionals hire everyone whether they'd be remotely qualified for a major or not. There are a lot of regional pilots who will never get a major job because the majors are really strict about things regionals don't care about (no college degree, bad GPA, DUIs, too many checkride failures, etc). The majors aren't going to hire me which is why I came to Skywest. It's probably going to be the last regional standing and will give me the best career.

[QUOTE=WaterRooster;2143158]Yah, I am a first year guy. Someone who prior did contract negotiations. I never said you got a good deal, I just said that your first year needed to come up to match the other top regionals. If you don't have people coming in the door, it doesn't matter if 2nd year and up is making a million and hour and totally happy, you will fail. First year
HAD to come up and my guess that was the first priority. It was a **** poor negotiation, but really in the end you can't negotiate, because you have no one actually representing you. Either way, this round 2nd year and up needs the best deal.[/QUOTE
let me guess again 2nd year and up deserve more because your are now or soon to be second year payscale

Sorry sweetheart, I forgot that you probably fall into the lifer group. Was it a DUI or are you just a jack*** in real life too and that prevents you from moving on? Either way, let's hope negotiations go better then last time and the pilot group doesn't cave after the company gets the main part they want.

Not sure what you're talking about. Water rooster hit that nail on the head

I'm sure we'll settle for another 1% bump for all payscales other than first year and something like delta bennies for the 175 guys across the board. That or a free coat.

and for the love of god, can we start fighting for things based on ACTUAL vs SCHEDULED?
what good is a trip rig if the trip is a schedule 80TAFB 4 day but it gets delayed day 4 for 5 hours. THAT'S what matters. we work, we should get paid. no one stays in SGU without getting paid, why do we keep doing so?

Things like that, reserve proffering, limits on ready reserve and TDY could be a huge pay raise or a big benefit to the pilot group and some of them barely cost SGU anything. Lets work on these things instead of begging for 50 cent per hour raises.

As much as I don't want to admit to it I'd probably bend over for Delta benefits across the board for the 175. Lack of Delta and American benefits is the sole reason I haven't transitioned to that plane. For me and my family Delta benefits are a huge deal. I realize not everyone else travels or cares as much as I do (as evidenced by the size of the transition bid list).

Upgrades are free on DL. Not a big deal domestically since everyone and their mother is eligible for the upgrade, but it's great when going international.
