What's fishy? Why would they not want us to be able to work directly with crew support to fix pay issues etc.? I know exactly what your talking about though because I was at an employer previously who literally it seemed was out to screw us. There are very few companies out there who still treat their employees right. Guys I fly with at skywest as a rule are trying to do a good job, trying to get out on time, trying to watch spending (except on the last leg of a 4 day) Gotta get home you know. If you treat your employees right they will treat you right, thats how it is at skywest, I thought you used to work here, didn't you? Maybe I'm thinking of somone else. These are the very reason we don't have a union yet.

As far as why don't they want a union, well, thats simple it throws a big ol bunch of red tape into the works and slows everything down. Want to pick up some more work,,,, gotta ask the union etc. etc. Not having a union makes it easier for us to get new work, its not everything but just one more feather in our cap when potential new relationships are built. Just one more small reason to maybe lean our way.
