I have a question for all you Skywest guys. Kyle I hope you can forgive me for hijacking the thread, you might be interested in this too.
I have a friend who flies the CRJ for Skywest. He recently told me that SKW pilots might be taking a paycut here soon, is that true? How can that be possible?
Sky west is non-union but they have some sort of in-house "pilot group" that is negotiating with management on this one. (so I am told, idk).
Skywest is a great company, probably the best regional to go to. Every time I talk to HR they tell me that are competing for pilots with every regional right now and that they want to attract only the best and the brightest... They also tell me that their demand is high, very high.
I seems like a conflicting story. How can you tell me that you really want to invest in your pilot base, and that demand is so high, and then turn around and cut pay? How is that going to attract new pilots?
Is this because of Pinnacle pulling everyone down? Help me separate fact from rumor as well as understand the regional game.
Horizon first year $30, SKW $22..... That is a substantial difference in QOL.
