I’d pro-union but you guys are doing it a disservice by making it seem like a union is a panacea for all these problems. At the regional level they seem to have very little real power.
That’s what I’m saying. It’s not relevant to new hire training. And good or bad training departments have nothing to do with whether union or not. Sadly the different FSDO’s that oversee training aren’t even standardized. New hire training is tough for those doing it for the first time. And Skywest is getting plenty of good canadates these days. That’s in part because Republic and Endeavor have slowed down hiring. In short, they can be a little picky right now. There are some that don’t make it at the major level. Although, the percentage is much much lower. And I wouldn’t go as far as to say unions “at the regional level have very little real power.” Slightly reduced effectiveness maybe?
