ALPA will offer LEGAL advice and aid in communications, but ultimately it is the Pilots of Skywest that will help themselves.
Sorry its not worth it. Skywest is fine on its own we don't need alpa to come in and destroy this good company. They have done such great work at; Comair, ASA, Mesaba, TSA and of course Mesa and their 1 room per crew contract.
Yeah I really want alpa here just look at their stellar track record.
BTW what are the cards at now? 40%. Last I heard they are hiring at a higher rate than they can get cards in at. Don't forget that everyone who sends in a card isn't going to automatically vote yes. I know of plenty people who have sent in cards who just want to vote it down.
I can't wait till the drive fails, I will enjoy the look on the faces of the vultures out there who want skywest to fail and use the excuse of "brotherhood". If you guys are just looking out for our best intrests then why were you so angry when we got the Midwest contract? I recall a few "screw skywest bottom-feeders" type comments out there. You would think you would be happy for us.
