This post wasn't aimed at persuading the SKW pilot-group, was it?
I'm sounding like a broken-record here, but ya'll have to lay off pushing ALPA so hard. It's beginning to smack of snake-oil salesmanship. And this isn't aimed at any individual in-particular; but stop trying to tell us what's best for us.
The dynamics here are something you can't understand until you're on-board. I know it - I had never even considered SkyWest an option (almost completely due to lack of union representation) until I had been on the line with Trans States for several months. It may not be perfect here, or anywhere for that matter, but I've never been content at any job before coming here to SkyWest. Don't anybody ask me to give that up. Jerry has a good direction for us, and eventually, I believe Chip will do good by us as well. If not, well that's a bridge we cross when we get there.
