I've read your post for some time now and they are consistently filled with emotional drivel disguised as circular logic at it best.
Assuming SkyWest was Alpa, nothing would preclude them (sw) from
acting in the exact same way. They could, and would, continue to seek the most cost effective business model. And when you got painted into another corner you'd have the exact same situation you're in now. You and your coworkers would be faced with ghe choice of adapting or going away. The fact that SkyWest pilots accept different circumstances than you would wish is none of your business. They have adapted into what they consider a reasonable balance between work rules, pay and growth.
Having a union, in this argument, would make zero difference except perhaps allowing you to feel better. And no one really care if you do.
Having said all that, there are many many positives to having a union. Your whipsaw argument isn't one if them.
