We get paid holidays. How many do you get paid for?

 

It might. Maybe. I'm not certain. Some of the non-voters were apathetic but many more meant NO, and they meant it in all caps. Those folks would turn in a ballot under the new rules.

 

How much could a first officer expect to make at Skywest first year? Is it as simple as $36.50 (per hour rate) x 1000hrs? Is there a range depending on how much you want to work? Would $40,000 be possible/realistic as a first year FO?

 

I stand corrected on this information. My parents just flew on Friday and I was a little surprised to see they were listed as S4 on a mainline flight. Every buddy pass on the flight was ahead of them (based on my date of hire). I decided to look into it.

Today I talked to the travel center and it seems that the information I posted above (in the quote) is dead wrong.

Per the SkyWest Employee Travel Manual SP 200, Chapter 4 Paragraph 2, Sub-Paragraph 10 (page 04-02.7) - Boarding Priorities (see table in manual):

From my discussion with the travel center in no case when the employee lists with the parents on the same mainline reservation should the parents be elevated in status. Parents will always be an S4 on mainline.

This contradicts my experience on mainline. I guess I've just been lucky that the gate agent listed my parents and I as S3 but it is definitely not the rule. Also the last few weeks are the first time my parents have flown in 4 years so things have apparently changed.

Sorry if I misled anybody. Read the travel manual for details. It's all in there.

Since I received such an overwhelming response to my last question,(humor)I'll try another, can anyone comment on how the commute is SAN-IAH? Looks like it's mostly UA.
Thanks!

 

Why in the world would you do that commute?? When LAX is 20min flight away!!!

 

You're making over $11k per month at OO?!

Because that's how much you would have to make to be stuck giving ALPA $230... How many years di you have to be at skywest to pull in $141k/year!?

 

Not to mention alpa would never allow the "historical credit" bs which has been calculated to be 2-3% pay cut

There's your union dues right there my man.

Gross pay, my first 12 months at Skywest, if you include per diem, came out to $41,000+. My pay was $30 except for the last three months which was at $36.50 and my first month which was at $24. After taxes, insurance, and a bunch of other deductions, take home pay is going to vary depending on your personal circumstances.

I am on the CRJ and always credited more than min guarantee.

 

Come again? I won't be based at LAX. I need to commute to IAH. Why would I first commute to LAX, than IAH? And if you meant, drive to LAX, it's 2 hours.

Then again, I'm not sure what you're asking. Anyone else have experience making this commute? Thank you.
