I know that, but that's not what he said. He said that SkyWest pilots' votes have no meaning. He didn't specify the sort of election.
By context, it was obvious to me he was talking about your pay raise vote. Those elections have no weight with the NMB. Only the importance of employee relations are considered in honoring any vote given to at-will employees.

The fact is Inc as a whole (SKYW and XJT) are going to be much smaller in 5-10 years, we are not immune to the changes in the industry. The quicker you put the kool aid down and take a look at things you'll have a much better idea of where this place is headed. SKYW is NOT afraid to shrink to make more money.
Now how did you get immune out of that? You're reading what you want to see and not what was posted, but then again that's status-quo for these boards.
Also SkyWest isn't afraid to place -200s on breakeven EAS routes or marginal routes mainline just doesn’t want to manage anymore in order to save money and have the potential for greater profits and better mainline relationships. Something no other regional is willing to do, while others struggle and go BK SkyWest continues to turn profits. Call them what you will but our management group understand their markets better than any other.
Excellent point! And yet you have management mentality when it comes to your pilot compensation. You make a very good case for higher compensation, yet you spew the same F&H propaganda.
