For those that are planning on NOT opting for alpa. Be careful if you do vote. The way it looks there is going to be an option to vote for alpa, sapa or none of the above. If you vote for SAPA to be our union but more people vote for alpa, ALL union votes go to ALPA. Best just to not vote at all and have it count as a no vote. Mr. Stickwiggler. While I empathized with your situation and know that SkyWest going union would drastically help ASA, I have to think about my family and my QOL. My biggest concern with us going union would be the integration of the pilot lists. I'm fairly senior here at SkyWest but not at all compared to your group. Truth is I just don't want to give up my good trips. Life is good here. I've worked for a union before and its was not a good experience. Once bitten twice shy I guess. For all you pilots on the fence, just know that if we go union your seniority number will change, and for most of us it will not be for the better.
