But I do partially blame them for the whipsaw our CEO is paid to administer on his own employees because the Skywest pilots are able to stop that if they really wanted. They cannot stop the whipsawing in the whole regional industry but hey can within our corporation. And that would move the needle in the right direction in the fight against whipsaw in our segment of this industry. If they are not willing to "pay the price" to stop the whipsaw from our own CEO, then they are NOT for stopping the whipsaw. And that was my main point to Skywest pilots. If they are for it, them they should be for one list. Anything else is just lip service.
Let's just say they become union...How does that stop the whipsaw within the corporation? ASA and CMR were whipsawed when we were part of the same corporation. Hulas is going to whipsaw GoJet, TSA, and Compass. No whipsaw currently at RAH...but they aren't gaining anything either.

Just because they are union doesn't mean there isn't going to be whipsaw. Look at all the whipsaw right now between union carriers.
