The same reasons they touted to the investors the savings of $70M/yr by merging ASA and XJT, apply to Skywest Airlines as well. I don't think it's so much combining non-union/union work groups as it is just maintaining their whipsaw business model. Even all the employee groups at Skywest Airlines were union, they would still want to keep us separate in order to perpetuate that whipsaw business model.




True, or they're just save more $$$ by letting the hemorrhaging company bleed out. Which is what seems to be happening.
