Calling your regional better than mine is like saying you're the smartest kid on the short-bus.
You are right. You should receive the respect you guys deserve. I was just calling it how I see it. The fact is there is a lot of animosity towards Skywest pilots whether you agree or not. I apologize if I bashed or made it sound like I was bashing Skywest. I have a lot of friends there and I hear their frustrations. I've come from a non union place and now work in a union place now and I just wished my friends benefited from some of the things I have now.

How about folks speak their minds openly, without reservations, or threats? If you're not stable or confident enough to read those types of posts, maybe you shouldn't be operating heavy equipment?
You area right as well. I was just trying to explain why some people were posting some of the stuff they are posting. I wasn't trying to say that anybody needs to adjust their thoughts or minds.

You guys think you understand but you actually have no idea about what really matters in life. You point your hypocritical finger and bash us for working our system as you sit on your ALPA thrown. LOL!
Just curious, do you guys fly around bashes other pilots while you give yourself high fives and slaps on the backs? Is that SOP for your pilot group or is it SOP for ALPA members. If so then next time I’ll vote NO and continue to deal with our internal puppet (SAPA).
BTW, I show humility everyday when I hold my little girl and realize that all I do is for her and I'm terrified of what I can't control because of just how small we all are. Go ahead and spin it but I want to make as much money and have as much time off as I can finagle so that I can better her life. That's wants truly important.
The animosity part is true as you read it everyday on here. Riding coat tails is also true unfortunately. I can repost the part of the SEC report again where Skywest management admits to it if you want.
Also unfortunately, we do have our share of pilot bashers. I don't think that is something that just happens at XJT or with ALPA members. Every group has it small percentage.
Trust me, I understand what you are saying. My job is like number 5 or 6 on my list of priorities. I work the system as well (from my ALPA thrown
). I have two little ones as well and am very glad that I have the protections of my contract that allows me to spend the time with them as well.
My frustrations is that Skywest is so successfully that you guys could be thee best, undisputedly, hands down, no doubt about it, best airline to work for. And in turn, help out your fellow pilots that work for airlines that do not have it as good.
