Once again "industry leading" is just a gimmick term with no reality behind it.

That is great!
Do you have a link? I couldn't find anything for the TSH companies.

Soft landing 2.0 approved. Great. One more thing to help them fill classes and prolong our time on this worthless pay package.
The cherry on top would be if they start talking about part time pilots again. Oh wait...

The 20-year pay scale that has plagued our industry for decades by restricting a free market for pilots is hopefully coming to an end everywhere!

Not really portability, without portable seniority it's weak sauce. More like regionals trying to poach each other's pilots.

But still it's way better than a sharp stick in the eye if you need to leave your company, or are stuck at a bottom feeder.

Class this week of 48 started before this was announced.. so don't think there is a panic yet...

This is a joke right? Nobody seriously believes this will be adopted industry wide (outside of the regionals) do they?

I'll eat my words once this is common practice at the majors. But until then this is just a scheme for regionals to poach from other regionals. Nothing more than another giveaway of leverage that only benefits new hires, and a small sub-group of pilots already on property.

Where is the reward for the pilots who were smart and did their research and came to SkyWest FIRST?!?! as opposed to rewarding the regional hoppers who got burned chasing the quick upgrade.

Any one able to point me in the right direction on info about the process? Not related to my medical cert and didn't want to ask chief pilot yet because it hasn't been confirmed, but I might schedule a shoulder surgery.

Pretty painless process.

Not everyone that started at another regional is a hopper chasing a quick upgrade. And on top of that, some that take advantage of this may have been burned by Skywest to begin with.

Use FMLA for something like that. That way it can't count against your reliability or anything else.
