I’d also like to remind everyone the last SAPA rep to not have a medical M.E. Sold out OO pilots and R.J. May not have one, I’m not positive he can get another job paying what he gets at OO. That’s bad juju.
I would also not trust anything the “pilots pilot” VP says about backing up SAPA reps and line pilots in this fight. Without making a statement on the merits of this argument, I could see TT changing the FOM without SAPA concurance. Because he can. And he doesn’t give a sh!t about any SkyWest pilot except himself.
Best wishes to everyone. I’m sure this will get ironed out. But if push comes to shove, I would be careful. TT wants lower attrition and UAL blacklisting OO guys would be good for him. Then he’ll sell you out and give UAL whatever they want.
So a few of our guys are running their mouth, but there is over 80 pages of UAL pilots chest thumping and putting down all regional pilots. Pretty nauseating to read. It’s definitely made me think about how little y’all think of us.
It will be ironed out, but that thread is ridiculous. To be honest though if that is what gets your pilot group to a critical mass anger level, that is pretty immature and pathetic. Right now I don’t know one pilot who has even talked about denying the jumpseat or even cares about this thing. Right now this pilot group has a lot more to focus on, voting in ALPA and getting a better contract.
