What great leverage did Skywest pilots use to get more money? Are one of the lowest paid regionals around now and have a pay freeze for five years? That leverage did a lot of good.

Skywest pilots don't know what leverage is.

The level of arrogance piled on top of the sheer ignorance of most of the regional pilots in here is remarkable.
Most of you can't spell basic words, yet somehow you feel your thoughts are worthy of sharing.
Flipping off other pilots must make some of you feel so big and strong.
Regional pilots are responsible for all of this. You should absolutely keep handing out the bird to other airlines' pilots. It's totally working.

Are you a pilot? Because you seem to be challenged by the simplest math. That "pay freeze" amounted to about an 8% increase in total compensation for me this year and 2 to 3% after that. I would put my W2 up against any other regional pilot's. Pay rates are secondary to work rules and soft time.

Funny, I remember flying in Salt Lake City for Mesaba during the Northwest days and getting the finger from Skywest pilots quite regularly. I also remember radio games too. Karma is real

I've watched the Blue Angels a few times and played the MS flight simulator as a kid, if that counts.
