At one point they approached sAPA to start talks on a new contract early, then backed off saying SAPA approached them around the time they realized they were filling classes. I think there's talks going on but they are still filling classes so time will tell.

Is Skywest doing anything to get its pay up? They seem to be losing their competitive edge by falling behind on the pay. How are they going to keep filling classes. They have added 160+ people the last 2 months and they are smaller than they were. Second year pay only goes up about .50 an hour from first year now. Envoy and Endeavor are paying 20/yr retention bonuses I believe?
Is anything in the works?

So long as they're filling classes they don't really have any push to raise the pay. Not to mention that we're in the middle of a 3 year contract.

We had a SAPA rep come talk to us in class. Someone asked about pay and he hinted that it was in discussion but that nothing would happen for a while. Really comes down to they won't raise it until people stop showing up for class.

Does anyone utilize the employee stock purchase program? I enrolled last month for $60/mo and they sent me an email saying it will begin Jan2017. SKW stock is high at the moment (hint hint why we aren't getting bonuses and raises... they are making too much money to share).. but I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to enroll or hold off. I can't seem to find a lot of info on the rewards of the program or how it works outside what they went over during indoc.

Hey guys, I'm an Air Force pilot who will be applying to SkyWest shortly. Two things. Does a C-130 type rating get you the $7500 bonus? On the SKW profile on APCs website talking about the bonus, it says "turbojet," so I want certain about a C-130. (There certainly are things we can get away with in a turboprop that you can't in a turbojet, so I can see why they'd focus on jets only) And can someone who had used mil leave tell me a bit about the process? Likes and gripes.
Much appreciated.
