Skywest is obviously making money. There is no debating that. And the margins aren't razor thin. They're just much smaller than at the major partners.

Until there is a higher demand for regional pilots, the bidding on regional flying will remain very competitive. Not much will change until we see that happen, union or no union. It's not like any of the other regionals are any better off than we are because of their union. I just see spending 20$ a month on union dues to be a waste of money. And I don't see how it solidifies the pilot group any further other than everybody is paying union dues.

It's not like I'd be disappointed if a union was voted in either. I just don't see how it changes anything so I'd rather save the money.

Just my opinion.
