I'm SkyWest and probably a lifer. For years I didn't want anything to do with a union, especially ALPA.
While still not excited about ALPA for the regionals, I'd sign a union card in a second.
I'm tired of going backwards, our management is playing us like fools and there's nothing we can do about it.
That being said, I would not be surprised if ALPA National is prodding this process to get the SkyWest pilots to play along?
