Great illustrations. I started at SkyWest as an anti-ALPA guy. I finished IOE on the fence. After a year at SkyWest, I think we need a union. ALPA may not be the best union, but it is clearly better than nothing.
Back when everyone in Ops knew your name, a union was probably ridiculous to all those but the most militant. SkyWest management has exceeded their skillset. With nearly 3,000 pilots and more support crew, this company cannot operate "mom-n-pop" anymore. We need a legally binding contract.
Out.
