yeah, i wouldn't call it an industry trend.. pinnacle tried to pull this one over on us back in sept/oct of last year. look where we are now.. another vacancy for over 30 capt, and they cant fill them...

like i said look where we are at. our management was dumb enough to do this to try and force us into signing a contract, you know the entire doom and gloom scenario, yet about 3 months after that they ran out of captains and couldn't even fill half the upgrade classes. so if you want to see what will happen at skywest just look at pinnacle.
the only difference is skywest doesnt have a contract. management is going to do what they need to do to make sure the planes are flying and that the business keeps moving. for the captains at skywest i am sorry, you guys are about to get screwed big time.. how do i know? the management here tried to do everything to get us to give up some of our contractual rights so they could staff the planes better.. we said hell no and now they are paying the price. i think j.a. will just go to sapa and tell them what needs to be done, and it will happen.
