I'm sure he's talking about integrating EV pilots.

When people make arguments like that 77% claim, it shows what they think about their audience. He must think the audience is so stupid that they will believe it or that enough will believe it.

I don't think any Skywest pilots would believe it. Might I be wrong?

The difference in pay between TA and No TA was less than 2% because 1% was already coming. The second year guys could still upgrade and they would also get the step from year 2 to year 3. That did not come about from the TA.

What 1% was already coming?

WesternSkies

What 1% are you talking about?

Wasn't there 1@ already coming in 2018 from the past agreement?

You should have been getting at least 20% anyway.

A captain of a 70 seat jet should be making more than a base salary of $59,280. Even a 20% raise would only be $72,000.

That's not a lot of money for someone based in San Francisco.
That's not a lot of money for someone based in Los Angeles.
That's not a lot of money for someone based in Chicago.
That's not a lot of money for someone based in Salt Lake.
That's not a lot of money for someone based in Seattle.
That's not a lot of money for someone based in San Diego.

If the pay steps from 2 to 10 were not so steep it would not be so bad.

It is not 1982 anymore when an airline pilot made 144,000 flying a 727 and the average person in a good job make 18,000. Hell, even then a DC-9 captain with 80 seats made 120,000 plus. Yes, the wages had to come down to market but they have gone too far and need to go up. Almost all the pilots from my last airline are now flying over seas because there they get the market value for a pilot.

There's no captain making 56k unless you drop a ton.

Utah

No. We got 1% at the beginning of this year and there weren't anymore increases due under the old pay package ,which wasn't set to expire until next year on June 30th. The 2% came a year early.

In-N-Out is slowly making its way eastward as well.

Well you SAPA also your longevity increase your new COLA raise so there you go.

I believe I said 59,280, not 56k. at 65 an hour times your guarantee of 76 times 12 months gives you the 59280. What you fly overtime does not count when comparing salaries. I guess if people want to lie to themselves they can.

Starting salary for someone getting out of college from a second rate school in engineering is over 60k.
