I have lots of friends that were or still are employed by Skywest and they are all really good people. I have never had a conversation with any Skywest pilots that wasn't pleasant. As individuals you guys seem to be great but I'll admit, collectively "you Skywest people" are not helping anyone by not certifying SAPA is your nmb recognized bargaining agent. After today, you will be the last pilot group that isn't Union (I'm not counting obscure airlines). For example, there are dozens of ALPA pilots in DC right now, today, lobbying congress as a pushback from the RAA against the ATP rule. Where are the Skywest pilots? You guys are purposely ABSENT from helping out and instead seem to revel in the coat tail riding. Our situation reminds me of the prison in which the warden has their favorite prisoner and gives him special privileges while punishing the others. And all the favored prisoner does is smile and nod because he doesn't want to rock the boat and lose what little scraps he gets from the warden. So even though I feel you have a role to play, the only one I take it personal from is from our own CEO. It's his unethical and immoral business model that has put his own employees to compete against each other rather than work together.
