No colonel sanders you're wrong, I win because you guys choose to engage in my unconscious drivel that I have so graciously crafted. It's a salute to your own colleague!

Default It's official

According to the latest update by RJ it looks like the company is officially not going to pay you for timing out under 117. Instead of sending out clarification to why they will not pay you, TG prefers to speak with each individual about why they are getting corn-holed.

Now why would the company not want to be clear on a policy that effects every pilot here? Maybe because they don't want to come out and say that if you pick up any red time flying or fly your awarded scheduled that you will not get paid?

Kinda sad because I had high hopes after KB "retired" Looks like nothing will change. Plus the fact that the company has no intention of getting a pay package to us. Sure glad "The long-term interests of all SkyWest Airlines employees are best served by maintaining our current environment of open and honest communication. We cannot compromise the environment we have worked so hard to create. The existence of a third party would undoubtedly change that relationship."

I continue to wonder how far this pilot group will allow our QOL to slip before we wake up.

The more the young guys time out, the more the senior guys get CN'd for that seat.
I encourage all guys to save up and time out.

You deserve a break.

It's scary how they can't do basic math. 1000/12 is 83.3 For the past 6 months, I have averaged 89 awarded hours each month. That means I will time out with not picking up any extra flying, just what I was awarded each month.

I try to bid down, I don't want to work this much. I try to post trips, but nobody can pick up or trade anything because everyone only has a couple days off and the company has decided that you need 30 hours off in 7 days. I could call in fatigued, but then I will just end up having those hours taken from my user time.
Oh, and have I mentioned that the last six months were supposed to be our slow time? I have good seniority in my base. I shouldn't be getting this much awarded or I should have the ability to drop stuff. But since our min reserves are more than our total reserves, that isn't happening either. Needless to say, the next couple months are going to be interesting. You can only run a car in the redline for so long before it just shuts down.

I think a lot more than just SkyWest is about to feel the squeeze. I'm sure they will find more bandaids some way somehow... The regionals seem like they would rather die than legitimately raise pay.
