UALPA - pitting pilots groups against each other for three decades. Congrats on yet another unnecessary conflict. Things must be going pretty well over there to have to come picking on us little guys.

I fear UALPA has a short term memory and has forgotten all the ways Skywest has bailed them out. (Does anyone recall when UAL was unable to make payroll and came to Skywest for a loan?)

So now, Skywest pilots are simply trying to protect jumpseat priority and all of a sudden, careers are being threatened? Only UALPA could come up with this brilliant plan. Skywest pilots didn't ask for this. UALPA could solve this in one quick phone call.

"You need to agree with us or we'll ruin your career!" How professional.

Let the representative pilot groups work this out. Getting overly dramatic about all this is an embarrassment to our profession.
