And frankly, in this profession, without an NMB recognized bargaining agent, you will NEVER be able to reach that balance. Don't confuse that with saying that it means you will always be able to reach that balance with it.
I follow you and we do have a very unique situation here at SkyWest. What we have works well ONLY because Mgmt. chooses to abide by our agreements. At Mesa, RAH, AE, TSA, etc. our set up would not work. There may and probably will come a time when SkyWest will need a union, but as long as Jerry's alive there will always be a balance at SkyWest. I just hope for SkyWest’s lifer’s sake the SGU / Utah / West Coast connection and promotions from within continue to foster this culture.
I agree a union's a necessary evil in 99% of the cases, but currently SkyWest is the 1%.
