P.S. enough with the middle fingers on taxi QX. It’s getting old....

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

So you voted yes then?

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

I just find it amusing that everyone thinks it was the junior guys that pushed this thing through when in reality it was the lifers that are completely disconnected from the industry that think it was a good deal.

I voted no and can understand basic math. :mind blown :

Skywest pilots are in the top tier.
New hires though have industry losing bonuses and I am very happy about that. Pay needs to be in hard rates.

Block or better?
Credit or better?
I've watched skyw do an envoy route for a month with 10 more minute of scheduled block on the same CR7.

I believe that it was the super senior guys as well as the new hires that were yes voters. The lifers did it because it was one more small piece of the pie that they can nibble on into retirement. And the new hires did it because their instructors in SLC told them they had to vote yes.

Lifers are relatively few in number, and even many of them are burned out by scheduling practices lately.

It was all the people who need fast upgrades, and expect to move on soon.
