[quote=Nevets;315772]Its that mindset Im talking about as well. Mesa, TSA, etc all have separate issues and degrees of success that their respective union can or cannot use as leverage. Its a mindset that people have an entitlement mentality that a union will shelter them from the realities of the situation. Look at it this way, would places like Mesa and TSA be better without their respective unions? This is the mindset these people who are now at Skywest should think about. And then you add the fact that the situation they find themselves at Skywest is ripe for leverage because of their enormous and continuous success if only they had ability to force management into real good faith bargaining.

I'm just trying to suggest an alternative approach, but apparently you either don't agree or don't understand what I'm getting at. The reason I say this is because, we've heard those very same arguements you've been presenting on this board, and those arguements didn't persuade enough SkyWest pilots. Continuing with the same lines will probably fail again next time around. I'm merely suggesting that the pro union pilots at SkyWest, and any pilot at a different carrier that wishes a union to exist here, may have to look at it from a different angle.
