I completely agree with this! And I don't really blame SAPA itself for this issue, especially since they were created by SkyWest.
Now, while I don't mind eating a bit of Crow I ask this Nevets: What can a union offer that SAPA can't? Other than "enforceable" contract language? How is that working out for other regionals? I feel ALPA et al have proved that they cannot do a good job with any of the leverage they had with other airlines. Not to mention voting in a union will not go over well with management (not that our job is to please them per se, but all of a sudden what reservedness they have and treat us with will be gone). Hence why I do not support an official union any more than SAPA.
