Here's a thought, just add another dimension to it.

What will happen to the XR pilot's EBA when they convert to the new fleet type? I'm assuming the new type will initially be replacing the F50's. I agree with sled_driver71 that most likely the drivers for the new type will be the existing F50 pilots, one would hope so anyway. Obviously as/when/if the services expand Skywest will then need to recruit.

IMHO the T&C's for the F50 (as posted here) are what pilots engaged in this sort of operation should be paid in 2011. I don't think they are overpaid, but from what I have seen their level of remuneration appears fair. Probably why most people I talk to say it's a fairly happy camp, and probably why XR enjoy a relatively high retention rate.

So, with a bigger, heavier, faster aircraft.....

What will the T&C's be for the new type?
