You honestly sound Like someone with Stockholm syndrome already. Right now, the regional industry is being disrupted. And pilots voting with their feet is helping that. Regional flying will not completely go away. I believe that the ones that are able to attract pilots are the ones who will be the most successful. This has nothing to do with whether you like it there or not. I like where I am but that doesn’t mean it cannot be better. But I understand that management has their fiduciary duty to shareholders first. It’s their job and as best as I can, I try not to take it too personal. It just means that only pilots are able to truly look out for pilots. No one else will. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s disappointing when this pilot group repeatedly underperforms in the one area that the most successful regional ever should allow them to succeed. No one is talking about being unreasonable. Republic was the first to go with their vastly increased pay rates, despite your doom and gloom of pilots getting paid fairly. Skywest was next and passed. Now endeavor got their huge pay raises. Right now, Skywest is the outlier, the other way around. Even if you look at all the other regionals, they all have a combination of either retention/signing bonuses, high pay rates, career progression, and fast upgrade. Skywest isn’t far from having three of those. I believe that this pay package will be insufficient and they’ll come back and up the ante for new hires. And that was the basis of my comment of management having the best of both worlds.




And my point was that that wasn’t your argument before the endeavor TA passed. Now you are singing a different tune.

By the way, it was you who agreed with me with how pathetic your vacation and sick accrual is compared with all the other regionals. Now you’ve changed your tune on that as well?

Yes. I was for the TA. I knew the No vote ramifications... (look at ASA, things would look different as we would be piggy backing that road). And yes i hate the whole Vacation program here.. other then that. Im happy..

Yes he can. YOU own what you post. HE doesn't own everything that the band, which may or may not be the inspiration for his user name, has ever said, done, or created. This is the wrong place for SJW BS.

Perhaps, but combine an economic 'correction' with age 67 and a loosening of the ATP and that will undoubtedly add a few years to each pilots game plan. EDV has a core of pilots who've been around for a good two decades and given it their all, so I'm glad to see them compensated.

How does long call reserve work?

Where in the company manuals can information be found about it?

Look at ASA? That was all Inc’s doing. Why don’t we also look at rah and endeavor or air Wisconsin? All of them held the line or substantially increased it in the last round.

You say you hate the whole vacation program yet on the previous post you were trying to pass it as some great thing.
