If SkyWest had an independent union, why would their dues be 5%?

I THINK Frontier's is 1.5% and I am sure Southwest's isn't above 1.95%. I don't know what AMR pilots pay.

FLAK, the longer you are at SkyWest, the less you will fear for your job as if you were still at an ALPA carrier. Just the truth that no ALPA supporter wants to hear. I have no problem going to my chief pilot and being honest with them without the fear of termination. Whether it be a medical situation or a screw-up in the cockpit, I don't fear I will be unjustly terminated.

Why are all of these ALPA carriers, ASA, Eagle, ComAir, Trans States and Mesa losing pilots to SkyWest? Everyone says it has nothing to do with the union, and perhaps not, but if QOL was as good as ours without the union, why leave? Simple question, if the pro-ALPA people can give a decent answer without flaming I would appreciate it.

And yes, the ASA TA has me upset and considering changing my vote. However, if you figure it took them FIVE years of negotiations to get our work rules, it makes you think why vote yes? Yes the pay is better, but the other stuff included is what we got without a union. So again, why vote in a union when it isn't necessarily needed?

And their contract certainly wasn't "industry leading" as you all had wished.
