You guys are right. I decided to listen to both sides of the argument before I voted, even though I was originally opposed. The last 3 weeks I've asked everyone I've flown with and more their opinion. There were great arguments for both a union and no union. To be perfectly honest all my life I've been a "shopper". I don't buy on impulse. Whenever I'm looking at something I'm thinking about getting I do research, ask others who already have or had what I'm looking at, then make a decision. The truth here is that after all my research what I'm finding is that all who have had a union previously except one guy are dead set against it. Now I ask you, if you were looking at a car to buy, and everyone except one who had the car previously hated it, would you buy that car? That's a legitimate question right? I would bet money that 80% of the guys at Skywest who want a union here have never worked for one in the past. I certainly may be wrong, but of the 18 guys I asked about the union in the past 3 weeks only 1 who was voting for the union had worked for one prior, and he was just over the fence. I'm sorry but I would be a fool to buy a product if its got a bad performance history. Bla Bla,,, I have to ask, have you worked for a union carrier before? I'm just curious, no harm meant. Everyone is entitled to their opion.
