A lot of Skywest pilots are pro-union. The ones who are anti-union are the senior lifers who wouldn't care about moving on to United anyway but unfortunately the senior people at the company are the ones that call the shots. The junior pilots wanting to move on are a lot more pro-union and aren't looking for benefits without the cost.
There probably will never be a passing Union drive because the people who want it most are unhappy and just going to move on to majors before it happens anyway. The lifers who don't want a union will stay.
