Endeavor pilots have been making this much for over 3 years. Those bonuses are included on their W2s. They have been blowing us out of the water for years.

Pointless. The regional system is designed from the ground up (well actually it somewhat evolved over time) to keep costs down. No amount of wailing, chest-beating, pontificating, unionizing, etc is going to change that.

It would take a national union with one list to break the whipsaw, but even then the ultimate result would be mainline absorbing some RJ flying and eliminating the rest.

You can fight epic battles for a few %... but x% of not much is still not much.

Trying to win a game that is rigged to begin with is tilting at windmills (Vegas would LOVE you guys). Better off playing a different game. The good news is that almost anyone will have the opportunity to move on soon.

So did 44% of us. Sigh.

I am CRJ ORD as well...I feel your pain. I just finished six days in a row of work, two days off, about to begin another five. I am a commuter too so when I get a schedule like this, it hurts.

I know they have. Unfortunately, company cheerleaders like amcnd
would refuse to acknowledge it by claiming it's a temporary bonus. Finally now they will be forced to count it as it is added to their hourly pay.

I may be “pro company” but im not under knowing we need to be matching pay with other regionals.. im just not “jumpie” like
You guy. Endeavor hasn’t even voted on it yet. And lets see what comes out of the October sapa meeting (going on right now).... give it time boys and girls...

Why should we accept any less than what everyone else is getting though? You owe it to your yourself and your family to make as much money as you can in your life. In the end, Chip, Mike, RJ and everyone in management are reaping the big bucks in while we minions slave away on their behalf as they laugh their a$$es off at our foolishness given how easy it was for them to procur yes-votes from us.


If you worry about SkyWest becoming bankrupt as a result of paying its pilots more, then consider that we just purchased forty E175s. SkyWest is one of the richest regionals in the history of aviation....

Give it time? Sapa meeting in October? The time was back in June. Oh ya, you gave us more time with your "yes" vote for five years.

Can’t change the past.. so forget about June... focus on the future.. For me thats let someone else deal with it. Im part of the lost 9/12 generation. And time to move on...

So you hand them a **** sandwich? The idea is to make things better for those coming behind you. It’s called being a good human. I realize that’s lost on the majority.
