I picked up open time once a few years ago as an FO and got absolutely bamboozled as I was showing up to the airport about to check in. They basically stripped a turn in the pairing and turned a two day from 10 hours of credit at 150% into 6 hours of credit which paid essentially min guarantee. Obviously I would have never wasted my time with that junk, they knew that, so they waited just prior to my report time to make an update.

I never answer the phone from CS on off days and I’ve never picked up an open time trip after that day. Maybe you should stop complaining and do the same. I promise you life is so much easier when you pay no attention to SkyWest Inc. on your off days. They don’t pay us enough anyways to be working on your few days off.

Already there brother. You’re correct in all. Still gotta watch then on the reflows. Upgrades. Canada flying.
It’s uncanny. And hilarious.
After This Cog is on the gone list the big wheel will keep turning and a new FO will get the lesson learned moment and all will go on. I’ve learned not a ton here changes. So stop trying to change it I tell myself. Move on.

Edit. It’s fun to complain on APC. Lively responses!

I have not experienced anything of the sort in four years. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. of course, but it does suggest it’s nowhere close to 100% as was stated earlier. What I have experienced are pilots who are frustrated because of their schedule and that frustration comes out in various ways.

They stopped selling them on the company website, which was the only source, because we have a little pilot entrepreneur at SkyWest that got caught with his side hustle.

I know this is a large benefit. However I am considering SKW because of basing. I live in San Diego and own my home here so the commute may be better from here.

Does anyone know current offers for class dates?

Just wear your SAPA lanyard or use a badge clip and clip to your pocket. Support the guys who get ******* on daily by the pilot group while busting their a** for the pilot group, or don’t wear a lanyard at all.

A hotel that gives free breakfast to OO pilots when they stay, just so happens to be a hotel used by another major airline for training.
