Looking forward to a big Skywest RJ contract announcement. Some pilot groups will never learn from history.

I like the line in the email...

"The Negotiating Committee and Management are still working on administrative clean up items before a final version of the contract can be published."

Uh, what? So it may just be a few words here and their, but everybody knows a "shall" being changed can change an entire section....we should have been voting on the final contract. Should not need to tweak anything.

On another note, the fact that the MEC passed this POS unanimously and the pilot group had 1/3 of the pilots against it, we need to reevaluate our MEC and vote in some people who seem to be more in touch with the 1/3 of this group. Obviously, the MEC isn't doing a good job of representing "all" pilots.

My simple math says Yes 843 No 415.

One of the 415.

1 of 415.....at least we have a few more union brothers and sisters...

I'd love to see a breakdown of the vote by seat, although it would only further divide the pilot group.

Still, it'd be an interesting statistic for any NC to keep in mind.

I voted no, but it's over now. Best we all start learning how to live under this one (even though language is still being worked out).

Straight from the CP today. "Hiring numbers won't be anywhere near what we thought earlier this year"

Get comfy folks.
