Our TA seems to have DB Cooper'd itself. It once definitely existed, although few saw it, and seems to have fallen somewhere on the west coast. We are all anxiously awaiting its return, to see if it has any money.

Ha! It’s funny because DB Cooper…I see what you did there. The young guys won’t get it..

Also, I need a new employer.

I guess I’m not young. Old soul definitely.

How does this TA process work exactly given OO has no union? Do pilots still get to/have to vote? Current contract good through EOY? Does that mean that’s the deadline to have a new agreement?

I hope someone is making the DB Cooper meme on Facebook as we speak.


Serious question. If there was a TA that was reviewed and “voted” on by the whole SAPA crew, but now it’s taken 3 weeks and counting for that to be made into something that the pilot group can see….did the SAPA group actually vote on anything?

To say it another way, how could something be vote-ready for SAPA but need a month of revisions before it can go in front of normal pilots?

I know the condescending SAPA leadership thinks we’re knuckle dragging idiots with “no understanding of how the process works” but they seem to be getting led off the cliff just like the rest of us.

Jokes aside, I think that SAPA and the company are actually reviewing and debating contractual language before bringing it to the pilot group. Example of verbiage that could be well-intentioned, but not meet legal scrutiny... In the list of priority for reserves, it does not state that CS has to "attempt" to use reserves in xyz order, just that they must "consider" reserves in xyz order. Thus, they may "consider" it in their noggin, and then assign it to whoever.

Is having confidence in SAPA foolish? Probably. But I'd like to believe that they're ironing out legal language and minute details before allowing us to vote on it.

Tell me you're brand new at skywest without telling me you're brand new at skywest.


Paperwork is on TT's desk awaiting a signature I'm sure.

They did. For someone so angry about the lack of communication, it might behoove you to actually read what is published. The AIP was announced 12 days ago not three weeks ago and laid out a time line of a week for a TA as long as no contractual language needed to be defined more clearly. Guess what they then communicated to us…

^ Exactly. I’m anxious to see it too, but SAPA has communicated with us.
