Why would I be recalled? So far, I'm promoting what the majority seem to want... against ALPA at SkyWest, and the pilots agreed, 2 to 1. I voted to send this to the pilots, which again, I believe will be passed by roughly the same ratio.
Care to bet on that?
I was just saying that if anyone wasn't happy with you they could elect someone else or recall you.
Thanks for being a NATCAvist by the way.
I'm not a betting man.

5. There is no "home run" in this game. Steady, and take it step by step. This is a step, one that wouldn't be happening had ALPA been successful, but a step nonetheless.
7. We're in a better position to negotiate in 2010 with this package, than without it.
9. Hey, at least we're not going backwards, like so many of our pilot brethren in other carriers have done in the past years
4. Nothing is "locked" in without a contract. Especially if number 3 happens.
5. You keep saying this but its just factually wrong.
7. Please explain this one.
9. Not everyone is going backwards. Some are and some are not. Its different from property to property. At Skywest, you guys should be leaps and bounds ahead of ALL other regionals.
