Tony,
What years were you in the NATCA? ATC has had its own union issues in the past and now faces an uhill battle just as most labor groups do in the us. In many ways the sceptisism that many Pilots have about unions and ALPA is shared by Controllers after the Regan era. Its easy to show the faults of an organization, its is much harder to stand up and fix them. I hope, with your experience both good and bad, you choose to help steer SkyWest pilots if they decide to elect union representation.
Thanks
