Also, don't forget that SkyWest literally buys their fake pilot union, called SAPA. It's only purpose is to keep a real union and lawyers off property from my understanding. I guess a while back the SAPA organization started censoring communication between pilots on their pilot forum as well.

Try a Google search: Douglas vs. SkyWest or Deneffe vs. Skywest and read about what SkyWest management has done to pilots. I don't think it's all rainbows there like many others suggest.
Perfect description. Fortunately, when SW pilots get to the majors, they have more experienced senior pilots who know the benefit of a union. Looking forward to the opportunity to pay 2% of my salary for legal representation and enforceable work rules that the company can't change to offset my 1% raise.

And the communication is still censored on our forum. The company is getting a great return on their investment in SAPA.
