It's an extension, not a new a contract.

"Gotta stay competitive"

The communication from RJ is terrible. When did these talks begin? How did they know what was important to the pilot group? Not that we could get any of it but you think they would at least try to justify their 110 hours a month or whatever it is to be on student council duty. This forum and apparently the SKW facebook group are the only real information out there and 95% of it is garbage. Where's the tylenol?

Gotta love the latest DVR. All zeroes... In every base and seat!

Horizon is unfortunately scared that SKW will come in and get more flying from AK since we're undercutting them.

Imagine if SKW gave us commuter hotels and parking out of domicile. Seems easy right? They've created so many commuters over the last 2+ years that they'd have to build a the Motel OO in ORD and DTW. This benefit has become standard but I would be shocked if we ever saw it at OO, too easy to give us a buck an hour and be done with it.

Are you sure about that?

Disregard! Clearly my internet connection is squawking 7600. Showed as all zeroes for me an hour ago.

By Nov I should have around 40 hrs of multi time but will have to stay focused on TT to get it to 1475.

Thank you to all that contributed to answer my question.

So that's why it's a bad contract?

I hope it's an "extension" with pay increases and that he worded it incorrectly.

If it is not worded incorrectly and he is trying to pass off an extension as a "win" he should be embarrassed.

If he is "pleased" to announce an extension I'm sure the pilot group would not be happy.

Terrible communications. Nobody even knew we were in negotiations other then some rumors and all of a sudden, we have an agreement!
