Coming from an ALPA pilot group to SkyWest, I really don't understand the inhouse push. If you've expressed the opinion that it would be superior to ALPA I'd like to know how? In my (very limited experience) ALPA national wasn't there to hold anyone back. It was an expereinced and powerful organization with deep pockets that supported our airline's MEC (who liked to slack, screw stuff up, and engage in petty infighting).
Solidarity doesn't seem to be strong here, but I really do believe in our pilots, and having met and talked to local SAPA reps, I believe we have the sort of people that would make a good MEC. I believe SkyWest ALPA would be cheaper, more powerful, and more usefull than anything inhouse.
edit: looks like TonyC said better and first.
