Our pilot group will just have decided on a different way to obtain it but we would still have the same goal. I do feel that a united skw and asa pilot group can be a strong force.
Ok wow i was quoting someone else with the brethren thing. I'm sure ASA feels unity with skywest is essential also. I seriously doubt that ASA pilots want anything negative to come to Skywest pilots or any other pilots for that matter. The reason i mentioned ASA getting a contract was because i wanted to note what collective bargaining might get you. If Sapa can do the same thing then more power to you. I think that it is a little hard to have absolute unity among the two groups with one union and the other non-union. Two groups union meens ASA and Skywest pilots have some muscle. I seriously doubt that if skywest voted in a union, the union wouldn't try for rates anything less then what ASA just got on their TA.
