What choice do they really have? They have zero bargaining power.
I'm surprised SkyWest didn't offer an extra year of longevity credit for pilots who jump from the union-represented subsidiary to the non-union SkyWest.
On the face, this looks like an infringement on seniority. However, since it means pay rate increases (and more dues income) for
some pilots, I'm not surprised ALPA supported it.
Nice way to divide the pilots. Why negotiate a pay raise for everyone if you can negotiate a pay raise for just some pilots, right?
It should lead to some very interesting cockpit discussions. Who gets to pick up the bar tab?
