Again, what I'm talking about here has nothing to do with that. I'm simply talking about the corporate culture that lead to this situation to begin with.
Also, this is a different conversation than the union topic. But just to clarify something, IF you were to go union, it does NOT mean there will be a merger. PSA, PDT, and Envoy are all union and separate as well as TSA, Gojet, and compass. So you are mistaken if you think going union means merger.
The Skywest Inc annual report admits that you get what others negotiate. So you may not be a bottom feeder but that's because you get the average of what others actually negotiate. In other words, instead of helping, you are a drag.
By the way, I would love for mainline pilots to take back their flying and temporarily put me out of a job!
The continental express operation was profitable until Skywest whipsawed us against their pilots. The union thing is so that you can join the table and start helping. Nothing more and nothing less.
No the continental express operation was not profitable. I'll help you out. It's been almost 10 years since there was a profit made, but Skywest needs to become more like ExpressJet to help out huh?
