All,

I'm wondering who would be in favor of an in-house SkyWest INC union. When the dust settles on this merger, I think it would be time to end all the whipsaw and get a single representative council.

My thoughts:

- One master list
- One contract
- Two certificates
- Fence the SkyWest cert to appease the naysayers, maybe for 5 years?
- Any transfer of airplanes between certs would include pilots integrated according to the master list. After the fence ends, pilots may move to any seat via vacancy bid.

Seems to me the company could benefit tremendously by combing the company and getting rid of an entire management team and office complex. I wonder how many millions of dollars would be pumped into the bottom line.

We would benefit tremendously by having a 7,000+ member unified pilot group. Bargaining power, anyone?

Other polling options include one master non-union list, one master ALPA list, and status quo (two seperate certificates and contracts.)
