Fair points. But saying there's a union does not mean conditions are necessarily better was the point. ALPA at the national level definitely does some good work. Point in case NAI.

Could SkyWest see ALPA in their future? Possibly.

To play devil's advocate let's imagine SkyWest votes in ALPA. Would you advise a wet R-ATP pilot to go to Mesa over SkyWest since they have had ALPA longer?
