Allow SGU to get by without paying more to attract/retain pilots?

I honestly don't know which it is... maybe both.

Not necessarily a bad thing either way if there are protections to further scope erosion. But the key question is what did the pilot group get in return for this policy change?

A very small select group of pilots (including at least 2 SAPA reps) who are close to retirement will still get to fly airliners as a hobby in retirement. That's what the pilot group gets.

How many of our pilots even know that this program exists?

Exactly.. im fine letting someone retired fly the Roswell paint repos. Reserve pilots should NEVER have to drive a rental from ABQ to ROW ever!!! (Done that twice)

Lack of information is skywests number one tool. They thrive on us having no unity and no information

I'm not. Those are our jobs.

Our planes, our jobs. Company can't benefit from non seniority list labor AND short staff the airline all at once....
