Give me a break. Without unions you would be flying a 757 for 30k a year as captain, flying 150 hours a month without tcas or any other union negotiated benefits. Skywest success over the past years has to do with sound management not the fact that we were not ALPA. Look at the big picture.
You’re totally delusional; our 700 pay came on the backs of the comair pilots.
My post metioned nothing about Skywest being successful because we aren't ALPA. You would have to be delusional to reach that conclusion. And it is foolish to suggest that any of us would know what the industry would be like without unions. Unions have been a part of what we do for so long that none of us can say what it would be like without them. The unions are big business now just like the airlines. I am not a management apoligist. I know that Mgmt is just out for themselves. The problem is that the union is too. The OC at Skywest complain all day long about SAPA rep who don't fly the line and take home a nice paycheck, but who do you think will be the first ones lined up to do the exact same thing for the union instead. At least the SAPA salaries are coming out of the companies pocket, not mine.
