So you voted yes then?

I voted no and can understand basic math. :mind blown :

Skywest pilots are in the top tier.
New hires though have industry losing bonuses and I am very happy about that. Pay needs to be in hard rates.

Block or better?
Credit or better?
I've watched skyw do an envoy route for a month with 10 more minute of scheduled block on the same CR7.

I believe that it was the super senior guys as well as the new hires that were yes voters. The lifers did it because it was one more small piece of the pie that they can nibble on into retirement. And the new hires did it because their instructors in SLC told them they had to vote yes.

Lifers are relatively few in number, and even many of them are burned out by scheduling practices lately.

It was all the people who need fast upgrades, and expect to move on soon.
