This is the only airline I have worked for and I know it could have been worse at some of the other bottom feeders. When I first started instructing, American Eagle was actually a pretty good airline. I knew of some that went to Pinnacle after SW and heard horror stories of pilots getting extended into their day off all the time and other crew antics.
I guess for me it's just difficult to see an airline that has survived so long by working with their employees and providing a good culture. So many easy wins out there but they are too busy chasing their tail to listen. TG wants to brag about how CS processed 1,800 manual SchedPlus transactions? Why not automate some things and cut that number in half? Busy doesn't always equate to productivity.

Does anyone know how to successfully establish communication with any SAPA rep? This is now the third time I have tried to unsuccessfully email one (all three separate people) over the past few months regarding separate issues important to me... regardless if they were important to them it still warrants a response as it is our "union."

Do they honor seniority with their bidding or equipment transitions? Or offer to take on more flying than they have the staffing for?? I won't jump from one regional to the next but it may not be a bad gig if someone is just starting out. It's not like it's Mesa or Republic. What does SkyWest offer that other regionals don't??
(I know you already know that, just highlighting the bullsh**)

Maybe the koolaid ODs are the reason so many people are calling in sick and then getting told they need to visit the chief pilots to discuss responsibilities. Lots of future major airline denials due to all these letters in the pilot files.

Hey SGU! Whatever you do, do not consider taking the 30-40 extra 175 FO reserves you have in ORD and maybe TDT a couple of them to SFO, PDX, DEN or SEA. Do not even think about spreading them out to make someones commute better or maybe have 2 or 3 extra reserves above the minimum so that someone could drop a trip through Sched+. Keep all the minimums high so you have to do all transactions manually. Then TG can tell everyone what a great job you are doing!!

Maybe that is their retention plan?? 31 CA gone so far this month (most in one month in the 2 years I have been tracking it) and we still have almost another week. Since they obviously don't want to do anything to improve QOL to keep people around, this must be the next best thing. Get some attendance letters in your personal file so that you will have to stick around.
