OO collective bargaining agreement 2027
Posted by Flyforfun31@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 39 comments
Recently got hired at Skywest and curious to hear what things people thing will change in the CBA next year? I would think the company is going to try to throw a few bones to keep the union momentum away. However when I look at pay compared to other regionals, OO seems to be on the low side and no commuter clause. Any thoughts?

Well the collective pilot body let the company talk them out of any 300%, which is pretty wild. Does not bode well for any upcoming negotiations.
BerMalBerIst@reddit
To actually weigh in on your question. Likely it’ll be similar to last time. Skywest will dick around until other regionals start getting contracts and then they’ll match (slightly below) them.
Complex-Brief69@reddit
If you’re an FO expect a 3% raise and maybe, marginal QOL improvement in the vacation department. Thinking you’ll get anymore than that is insane.
Any large pay raise will be to retain captains.

The term CBA doing a lot of heavy lifting here

Call it whatever you like, in the tablet SkyWest provides it is listed as a CBA.

Was this a gold tablet that no one else ever saw?
UnhingedCorgi@reddit
Is it enforceable? Can the company change it at their discretion?
TSwiftIcedTea@reddit
No it’s not enforceable and yes they can change it whenever they want. In 2020 they changed the reserve guarantee from 75.6 hours to 68 hours without a vote. The SAPA President who is paid by the company(as is every rep) signed off on it and it was implemented immediately.

This is the correct answer. The only agreement being made is the pilots agreeing to accept anything management desires

Ooo the magical tablet
Twarrior913@reddit
Don’t forget the different set of tablets too.

Those the same tablets Smith found but nobody else was allowed to see.

How is SkyWest getting a collective bargaining agreement without a union?
Flyforfun31@reddit (OP)
Its non traditional but basically they have employees that work on behalf of the workers with the company for a contractual agreement.

Bro is trying to newhiresplain how the airline industry works to a bunch of veteran airline pilots.
You don’t have a union and you most certainly do not have any sort of collective bargaining agreement or even a contract. This is your opportunity to learn that good and hard, because that’s how the company is going to give you their will… good and hard.
UnhingedCorgi@reddit
Genuinely asking because I don’t know: who pays the people representing the pilots? And can this CBA be removed/changed at the company’s sole discretion?

It's a company wide election process. Volunteer employees. How much power do they really have? Who knows.
TSwiftIcedTea@reddit
In federal filings regarding these elections on the FA side, SkyWest was found to have participated in rigging the elections in favor of candidates they felt were most pro company and anti union. No doubt they do it on the pilot side too.
PM-ME-YOUR-PROPWASH@reddit
Color me surprised.
SMELLYJELLY72@reddit
yeah watch how quickly they’d get fired if they actually tried to do any real collective bargaining

shadowalker125@reddit
Sapa calls the contract a CBA. Even though it’s not a union…
FlowerGeneral2576@reddit
A collective bargaining agreement that didn’t involve any collective bargaining…
x4457@reddit
It does, it's just an "agreement" as long as the company agrees to abide by it. They can just decide not to any time they want.
The A is the suspect letter in that abbreviation, not the CB.
EM22_@reddit
Exactly, they’re agreeing with….. who? Themselves. Crazy concept.
Meani123@reddit
You dont need a Commuter clause you have privileges on all the majors. You even have a higher priority in Alaska than Horizon lol.
boobooaboo@reddit
CBA? Someone has been indoc’d a bit too hard.
BostonPilot99@reddit
Can it be a CBA if the pilot group is not collective and no one bargained it?
velosnow@reddit
CBA 🤣
Get bent.

Collective bargaining is the third stage of collective grief.
prex10@reddit
Your student council will make a CBA by reading Seer Stones from a hat /d
Ok_Witness179@reddit
The only motivation that company has to do anything good is the talks of unionizing.
Whatever they give won't be as good as what a real union could do though.
Several-Village5814@reddit
What bargaining agreement
Paranoma@reddit
SkyWest is non-union. Thus: does not have a CBA.

They’ll do the minimum of what everyone else does
