"
VB management asks them to take on the EMB170's" - they are already up for sale so no chance of that happening.
"Now you have pilots flying a
VB type at what will probably be less money than the current
VB rates, on
VB routes." - according to the Skywest EBA on the FWA website they get pretty well renumerated relative to aircraft size for what they do, i mean a 3rd year F50 FO is on $65000 to fly a 21t turboprop! Whats a Jet* FO on relative to dollars/tonne?
Will be very interesting to see tho how Skywest will double their pilot, cabin crew, engineering numbers in the next year? (the GA boys will be salivating...)
