Skywest having a HIMS program has nothing to do with unions. The HIMS program was started by the NIAAA, the FAA then awarded a contract to ALPA, it was a federal program that was started and funded by the government, the program was then brainstormed by a UNited and Continental captain, the FAA then awarded contracts to ALPA, so to imply that ALPA came swooping in with its superman t-shirt is just silly. JS is based on reciprocating agreements, which non Union carriers have so I would assume alpa didn't negotiate that for us and other carriers. Union carriers pilots want to be on our jump as much as we want to be on theirs.
You truly are a broken record, I assume your house is decorated in ALPA colors and ALPA wallpaper
