Hi all of you
The reason that Skymark do not have uniform is not because they can t afford it
Until 4 years ago all pilots were going to work (in uniform) by taxi paid by Skymark
At that time Skymark were operating around 10 to 12 Aircrafts (around 80 pilots)
The cost of taxi were about $50 to $120 US for each pilots (depending of were they lived)
As the Cie grow (they were planning more than 25 Aircrafts) the CEO decided to stop this in order to save around $2,000,000 US per year
So the pilots told the Cie that they were not interested to travel by bus, subway, monorail while being dressed in uniform and carrying flying bag plus overnight bag
So the CEO came up with this Skywear clothes and provided full library in each aircrafts so we did not have to carry a flight bag, and most of the pilots were happy to wear jeans, nike shoe, and carry only a backpack to work
Passengers d ont really care. They want to fly modern aircrafts, well maintained, on time departure and safe
When you say that Skymark is the worst contract in Asia I thing you are wrong
If you add up the salary, per diem, ticket every month, apartment, and your Japanese income tax all paid by Skymark it is around $20000 US a month
All training, accommodation, salary, per diem, are paid by Skymark from day one
It is not the best contract, but it is not the worst either and for those who are looking for a commuting contract it is fine. People are polite, nice, honest and as far you do your job properly you w ont have any problems
And in a few months with the Cie Checker the life will be easier for every one of my friends who are still working there
