exactly! the most important thing about all of this is getting the information out to the pilots. I have the utmost respect for him because he truly cared about his pilots, he refused to be a puppet (a good example of a sapa puppet is Jim Black who has been quoted as saying the reason he drinks the company koolaid is because they pay him and it feeds him and his family), and he wanted to deal with the issues.
The exposure of SAPA as a fraudulent organization (for lack of a better term) is the best thing to happen to skw this year. Even after the whole union vote fails, the hard work of several individuals at skywest (and some alpa lawyers) advanced your pilot group a lot more than you think. now you are armed with good information, its up to you to be a strong pilot group.
