And on top of that, you guys shot your wad on a measly pay raise that locks you in for five years while simultaneously giving away leverage by letting management raise FO pay without having to come back and negotiate. It sounds like there is at least one Skywest pilot that is frustrated over that and I don't blame him. Your pay rates are just multipliers to your work rules. Right now you guys are one of the most productive pilot groups and that equates to your work rules being a low multiplier of your pay rates. You can do a lot better for yourselves but that requires using your leverage effectively.

I have friends at Mesa, Gojet, commutair, psa and expressjet and the stories I hear are pretty horrifying, even in the regional market that we live in. The pay package was BS, and it should not have passed, but you can blame that on all the junior guys. But who can blame them, they want to ride the quick upgrade train as well. People coming on here bashing OO have no idea what they're talking about.

Not that I agree with it or condone it (for the millionth time), but it's just what inc wants. I hate to see it, but I'm not putting blinders on, it's real. And it's here already. Opening a base would save costs. The amount of deadheading is ridiculous

Literally they convinced themselves, because once again, they are raised without critical thinking skills, that they are in charge of making sure the company and their executives get record profits, or that as a "regional" you can't expect a reasonable wage.
