Also the rumour around here is that skywest is getting an additional 15 900s this summer for delta, I think we deserve them as we have been good to delta and have kept alpa off property.
Obviously you are currently making inflametory statements, look at the response you have been getting.
There is nothing wrong with wanting your company to prosper, if it does well you do well as a result. But, there is something to be said about the industry doing well too. The more growth we see industry-wide the better all of our lives will be.
ALPA, love it or not, is trying to make life better for all of us. Whether they are succeding or not is left for another debate, but it is their goal. If I were you I would be watching Comair very closley. It may not happen tomorrow, but Delta may come down on Skywest and want lower rates.
Not appreciating the successes of your fellow pilots (union or not) is foolish, ignorant and just plain rude.
