Vacation, good schedule living in base, family obligations, to many to list. Im sure the company computer for tracking time is off from what pilots log. And its only as good at what you told them for flight time when you go hired..

For those that are looking at Skywest, you have to ask yourself why would 38 FOs leave? Well I’ll tell you I hate it here right now. I’m 65% in a western base, I’m about to start another 4day, it will be 3 weeks in a row of only 2 days off, oh and April is supposedly a down month. I had 10 days off in February and that was awarded. We’re being paid far less than our competitors, can’t help but feel like we’re getting taken advantage of.

This is not accurate. I along with about 25 others were not awarded upgrade. VD said they decided to scale back classes, no explaination why. However if you look at attrition for the month it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that with 33 FOs leaving in one month they can’t afford to let ppl upgrade.

10 days off in February... that one is on you not knowing how to bid.... 12 days off, that’s company standard these days. Anything less than 12 off is your PBS bid settings.

I’m DMA which is hard lines. With the carry-in pairings, it amounted to 10 days off. Because the ppm states PBS and DMA doesn’t use PBS, CS wouldn’t budge so I had to suck it up and work the schedule.

There’s a reason why every medium size airline and larger has negotiation paid by the pilot group, a union!
We are truly are own worse enemies!

That's false. The agreement is a contract signed by reps from both parties, and legally has the same force as a union CBA. In order to enforce that, you'd have to go to court. Remember RLA still applies to airline labor groups, union or not.
