this pitting of one against the other may or may not be intentional, or it could be just a byproduct of two pilot groups maturing differently based on different circumstances. The TA will definitely get brought up in skywest circles, but as to what extent it will affect the alpa vote, who knows. youve already got your guys who will for sure vote yes or for sure vote no. i wonder how many people are still on the fence, because this could be a factor for them.

i imagine a lot of the asa pilots who jumped ship and went to skw will still continue to badmouth and bash asa and alpa so thats a consideration too
