And yet SkyW is trying to get concessions from its pilots...please, I know people at SkyW, and heard many oddball firings and nothing can be done sans union. Its a regional, and that's that.
On a side note, a union vote is the next natural step. Although one should be naive to think it was going to continue with a no attendance policy with the big growth that's being planned ahead. To play devils advocate and put things in perspective the new policy is still better than Airways/United, but it was ill placed and ill delivered implementing it without the PVC.
