No thanks!
Please be strong and support each other!
I'd personally like to see all 7000 SkyWest INC pilots under one representation. Fence the certificates if you want, but give me one list and allow seniority transfers when the airplanes switch certificates. Give me SAPA, ALPA, or another party...now THAT's bargaining power.
My knowledge of the XJT/ASA TA is that there isn't even the the bait of new aircraft. Management must be pretty confident it will pass.
Also, you might want to reconsider ALPA. As you said, there are far better ways to get actual representation.
