No, that's not what I'm blaming the Skywest pilots for. Like I said, you only get what you do because of what others get, not the other way around. Let me put it this way. Let's assume that SAPA was your NMB recognized union with all the rights and responsibilities of the RLA and your current work rules and pay rates, (including benefits), was your contract. It wouldn't have made any difference in our TA (because the TA is better) except for probably some sections of the scope section (in your favor) that directly affects Skywest pilots. But at least you would be participants in the regional industry rather than blind spectators. THATS what I'm accusing you of, being blind.

Anyone can feel free to PM me instead if they don't want to side track this thread anymore. Although I rather have the conversation in open where it's transparent and for anybody to see. Secrecy only helps management keep us in the dark.
