Non-union list
#11
In a previous life, I worked for an FAR Part 121 cargo carrier. Initially, they were represented by the Airline Division of the Teamsters (IBT) and frankly, I thought it was a waste of dues money. In my view, the IBT Airline Division did absolutely NOTHING for the membership; didn't seem to care about pilot issues and their only focus was the collection of monthly dues.
As for ALPA, I believe they accomplished a lot for the pilot profession initially; however, they never kept their eye on the ball and in the past years became a political organization with an emphasis on advancing the agenda of the union leadership group in Washington. l think the pilot group at my former employer would be better served by taking their union in house and let ALPO die a natural death.

Seriously, interview everywhere you can. You're liable to blow the first one, it would be a shame if that was the job you really wanted. Go to as many as possible take the one that offers at a place you want to work.

I'm always reading about people hating non-union pilots. I agree with this. However I'm not working for any of these guys yet. I've been getting my resume together and plan on sending out a few to feel the area. I was wondering if I could get a list of what regionals/airlines are non-union. I've seen job listings for GoJets then found out they weren't after a little research. I'd hate to make the mistake and waste time on those companies. So if someone could make a list of companies that are non-union that would help me quite a bit.

When working for a regional/airline is it possible for pilot A to belong to IBT and pilot B to be with the other or since they are bot AFL-CIO does the airline pick who they want to go with and the pilots then have a choice of taking that option or no? And your statement on SkyWest is kind of odd. Would working for them put you on the "no jumpseat" list?(only way I could word it lol. Basically the hate list)
Good thing to hear about XJT that's who I'll be sending one of my resumes to!

RICKAIR7777, EASY but right on. I'm anti-union but from being a 2nd generation airline pilot and with many friends and family who are airline pilots, I feel that in the aviation industry unions are a necessary EVIL.
Hope to see you out on line.
