My difficult decision to not support the alpa drive was reached after hearing several alpa pushers (such as yourself) telling outright lies to new-hires during their recruitment drives. The idea is noble, but the implementation is crappola (esp at the regional level). Fix mesa first, then come talk to ME
SKW does a very good job of taking care of their own, lots of people do lots of stupid sh*T here (including bending airplanes) and get to keep their jobs. Unless you lie or show up drunk, they will work with you. I know, I know...at an alpa carrier drunks, coke users, and liers get to keep their jobs too. Well, you know what? If you're a liar, I'd rather see you fired than not. If you have a substance abuse problem, get help NOW before you get caught (or kill someone).
hahahahah,, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SKYWEST??? wow man you must really know me. suffice it to say you may work there, and i still probably know as many people as you there. i could walk into the main offices by the tower at the slc airport and talk with alot of my friends. I CHOSE not to go to skywest for several reasons. 1st, wanted to get back to the south seeing thats where i am from and was tired of utah. 2nd, although there was a lot of growth, there were also a lot of complaints from my buddies. i wont go into the list since you obviously know the answers to everything!! JM is rappant just so you know. I just talked to a friend of mine and he has gotten 2 calls this week. luckily right now you can flat out refuse a jm assignement, but that will change, the company will make it so you cant refuse, or you get a certain amount of refusels. and then what buddy? You just have to do it!!! no binding contract to help you out. with all this growth they are just going to make up rules as they go along and you are going to be the one to pay for it. pay attention man. you must not have been in the business to long.
by the way, wasn't a skywest pilot that was on the news recently for being drunk?
