I'm with Rick7777, fix Mesa, Trans States, and if ALPA can find the time to get the GoJet flying back to Trans States, then I'll vote for it as well.

Isn't ALPA in a conflict of interest by promoting/allowing/not doing anything to prevent Mesa, SKYW, etc., from flying 900s for what they get paid? Also, I thought everyone on here thought that the 900 is for mainline, so why is ALPA not standing up for the majors and fixing scope language in the major airlines' contracts that they represent? Why is ALPA national not telling the Mesa and whoever else is ALPA that flies 900s not to do it because it hurts us all in the long run? Why is that?

Rick7777 hits it dead on, fix the carriers that have less than we do at SkyWest before telling us how we need ALPA.

I also checked our policy manual today. It specifically states that it is an "agreement" between SkyWest, Inc. and the pilots. I look forward to losing my job when they change something in there without the approval of all parties, which is also written in there, and I file a lawsuit against them! (Wishful thinking, I know!) But truly, our Policy Manual is written like a contract and specifically states all parties must agree and that the Policy Manual is an Agreement!

However, apparently the F/A's went to court, filed a class action suit and lost. I believe it was regarding pay. I would personally like the opportunity to hear the reasoning the judge gave for not finding that this "agreement" between SkyWest and its F/A's exists and ruling in favor of SkyWest.

And before all of the pro-ALPA nuts go off, Trans States' contract was also broken by Uncle Hoolas by creating GoJet. ALPA went to court to prove that GoJet was an Alter-Ego airline, which clearly was in violation against page one of TSA's contract regarding Alter-Ego airlines, and take a wild guess who came out of the court room smiling?

Now everyone go off on me and tell me I am ruining the industry instead of answering my questions!
