What portion of the equation do pilots have any control over? I'm on my phone, so can't really pull up both company's 10k reports, but I feel pretty confident in saying Skywest has higher crew costs and possibly higher profit margins than Mesa. That's not an attempt to disparage Mesa pilots, just an assertion that mistrust of Skywest pilots is misplaced. If the conference was some sort of strategic planning session among airline executives, then I could understand the concern, but since it was billed as a step toward pilot unity, excluding another pilot group seems self-serving and short-sighted.
