Based on recent history, not something I have 100% confidence in. But at least I get to keep that extra $35 each paycheck.
Agreed. This is the one and ONLY area where I could see having a union at a regional as beneficial.

MF:I do not believe a merger of the 2 is out of the question. A consolidation of the list, aircraft, and certificates is a cost reducer. Regionals will continue to shrink as pilots become tougher to find. There are no guarantees and no one has a crystal ball. Given the trend of current events, IMO, a merger is possible.

One or more unions representing ExpressJet employees may also assert that SkyWest Airlines' employees should be subject to ExpressJet's collective bargaining agreements.
