First off. Unless something has changed since I left, SkyWest has no union. I have a deep lack of respect for SAPA after seeing the inner workings as a rep. I can tell you, unequivocally (which I did in my first post on this thread, which you may wish to read) that you are being led down a very dark road.
Secondly, Peepz (who I was responding to) changed his post. He said, even if the agreement changes, he will be using his own personal criteria to deny UAL jumpseaters. I would say that is a bad idea. I am NOT saying in ANY WAY that you go against your own (your words not mine) "union" but that this can turn ugly. You don't want to be the guy that dicks everything up just because you felt like being a one man army.
Look, I came here to warn you guys that this will get very ugly if you allow it. One way is to antagonize the United pilots on the United forum.
Don't like what is happening, talk to your reps. But I GUARANTEE, as someone who has worked at BOTH companies and worked in the (real) Union at UAL and the (fake) one at SkyWest; You will not win any sort of battle with United, today. TG does not have your back. Chip has it even less. He will change the FOM priority 1 minute after talking to SAPA and RJ will have nothing to say about it, because he can't even fly the line.
Anyway, I've wasted enough time here. If you want to go **** off these guys, BEFORE you even have a letter, do it. Poison your own well. It's your future, not mine.
I recommend remaining tactful and not going around ****ing people off for ****s and giggles.
