Well I don't think the union was planning to send anything out. It happened just about the time the hiring freeze was about to hit. One or two guys at least that I've heard of, had the time and the seniority to hold Captain. They had a bid in and were bypassed due to how either the computer or someone processed it.
They put a grievance in and now they wait. From the right seat. The thing is they are too junior to hold CA now that everyone in the freeze has their time. Might be part of why it's not talked about too much. Even if they get these people into the left seat or retro pay, it'll upset folks senior to them depending on how it's handled.

1. You have to work really hard to get fired here. We're talking silly hard. I doubt anyone has been fired for "just" missing their commute to many times.
2. We upgrade about 1% of the list every month. That's pretty good (right about what you guys are doing).
3. Just really isn't happening. It has for short spurts. If it did, I would be pay protected. Fly my cushy senior FO schedule for captain pay? Sign me up.
4. We grow every month. We fly for 4 major carriers. If we lose planes for one carrier, we can usually find flying for them somewhere else. That's what happens when you OWN your airplanes.

If you think that being fired for missing your commute too often is not a negative, I don't know what to tell you.
If you think that 40 upgrades a month is "movement" at a 4500 pilot airline, I don't know what to tell you.
If you think it's fine that they can withhold your upgrade for right seat staffing in your category and award it somebody junior to you, I don't know what to tell you.
If you think Skywest Inc hasn't lost planes "in this environment" that's cause they take them away from Expressjet.

Right now they also have the United CPP. Sounds like terrible treatment. Oh and that awful conflict bidding they have, who would want to get paid for trips they don't have to fly that touch vacation.

Breaking news: Whatever you hear isn't always true. SkyWest isn't hiring 100 per month nor are they upgrading 75 per month. Just because you haven't heard of something happening doesn't mean it has or does happen. Can't really come up with your alternative facts and treat them like fact unless you're...well, you know who.
Who do you work for? If you're a Compass pilot I suggest you apply to SkyWest. You obviously have a love affair with them.

SkyWest net pilots for May was +47. They lost 48 in MAY.. Compass is definitely a lot smaller. So if they were to get even 10 airplanes growth at would be like SkyWest getting 40... But the West Coast is ablut to get mkre Jr . Because of SAN/BOI opening up..
