We have heard it all.. SkyWest is still ran like a 550 count pilot group airline. That should sum it up.. I think there is a glimmer of hope ahead of us.l, with regards to QOL. Will see. But im hearing. No picking up extra block hours from our partners to gelp out the competition that can’t suport themselves..

I had to pay for my hotel room when I interviewed at a major airline. During training they paid for a nice hotel in Dallas, we also got full guarantee. As long as people are coming through the door SkyWest will not change how they do things.

They can pick up all the block hours they want to handle, they just need to share the added wealth with appropriate additional compensation agreed to by the employees whom will make it happen. Not force it on the employee with increased bid awards and denied schedule adjustments. I guess they still don’t get it, sigh... RJ is not representative of the vast majority of the pilot group.

Looks like from the august RSR the erj fo reserve percentages dropped below that of crj fo . This may not mean erj has dipped into crj staffing levels (FO side) or it may ?

I think there was a message “from the top” rope hinting that they don’t plan on picking up as much coverage flying this winter as last.

I don't we'll get any QOL improvements or raises until we have a meltdown and flights cancel, aka Horizon and Republic a year or two ago. Thus far they've been able to keep the operation going with minimal cancellations. But, it's come at the expense of us all working our butts off with little breaks. When I first upgraded, I was so burnt out from working 6 day trips with only two days off in between. I just called in fatigued that last day and went home a couple times. Key is to make sure you are fit to fly.
