Now I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, it Shure will be fun to watch the rug get yanked out from beneath you when your time comes. TIC TOC.
Please indulge me a second while I stick my nose in your family feud. Skywest pay is where it is because of Skywest pilot's own stupidity and for no other reason. It should be at least 20% higher just based upon current free market principles but they locked in their low pay for the next 5 years.
And you think you have protection from your union! They don't seem to be giving you any protection what so ever. How have they helped you? And they won't, they never do. I have been with ALPA, then Teamsters, then ALPA, then Teamsters. I was about to list the little things that I got from the unions but I can't think of any.
Your company was bought by SW and you refuse to go to SW on 10 year pay. My airline was bought by Delta and the ones they didn't take at the time have been completely blackballed by Delta. They didn't even interview a single one, even years later.
