All the regional airlines that have traditionally had the worst pay and work rules have been represented by the same union that represents their mainline affiliates. Mesa, Great Lakes, Republic, GoJet...shall we continue?
Stop drinking Skywest koolaid and realize that almost everything they offer comes off the backs of dues payers everywhere else. NAI is a great example of why everyone should be involved even at the regional level. You continue to enjoy things that ALPA national has fought hard for even at the regional level. It isn't free, and why you think you're above contributing blows me away.
