I am indeed within the guaranteed lines. I did not waive default min. credit. Someone told me we gave that up though, and the new policy is that CS will force something else your schedule for everyone if PBS can't come up with 75 credit.
Make it up, as in simply pay me, or force something onto my line during the bid adjustment?

In the fall they just paid me 3 hours or so and didn't add anything to my schedule. But I guess it could happen. I was also in a small base so they may not have had anything to assign me.

Doing some job research
Before I get jumped on, I admit that I am uniformed and looking for answers to a few question.
I've noted that Skywest does not have a union. However I see mention of SAPA. What is SAPA and how does it differ from a union? Also, if SKW does not have a union, what ability does the pilot group have to strike? It seems that without a union the pilot group has little to no leverage.

SAPA is basically a few pilots that management pays to tell the rest of the pilots how it's going to be.

As one of the many pilots that are at OO that use to work for a alpa airline i can say this is not a big deal. Its only the people on this board that bring it up spend all there days thinking about it... If having alpa at SKYW was such a big deal, we would be alpa already...

Not a troll just trying to figure out what role the union will play in my aviation career. I grew up in a mixed family home. My mom was union and my dad was management (different companies). If I listened to my mother she would have me believe that a union is the best thing since sliced bread. But if I listened to my dad he would say they are the scourge of the earth. Twice my mom went on strike, while growing up and those were some of the most awkward times in my house. There were days i didnt want to go home.
My intent is to find out the benefits of working for unionized and non-unionized groups.
