This bickering about unions is pointless. I am in contact firsthand with the ALPA official who undersees efforts to introduce ALPA to SkyWest. As much as I wish to see it happen, it simply will not. SkyWest pilots are too apathetic and infected by the anti-union fervor propogated by management for a union to make any headway here. I wear the ALPA lanyard given to me for awareness. Upon spotting it most pilots will tell me that they do not trust unions or that they believe them to be inconsequential here. Then again there are those who tell me that they support unionization, but when I direct them to the resources to become involved: silence. I strongly suspect that they fear the potentiality what would happen to them should management ever find out that they support unionization efforts. So far since its recent inception, no one whom I know has been fired, reprimanded, or disciplined for being active in the drive. In any case, the effort to unionize is experiencing week support from the pilot group. A shame really....
