You could always go work at Mesa or Gojet. Or how about ExpressJet, Compass, or Tran States.
Just kidding. Kind of. Although I consider myself a conservative at SkyWest's most conservative domicile, there's been plenty of days when I'd of voted for one here. I did actually vote for ALPA back in the day. The in house proposal was seriously flawed. SAPA is a joke. And just about everything they do is screwed up. This latest reserve change a perfect example. If ALPA got another drive going they'd get plenty of votes.
I guess what you have to do is compare our policy manual to other regional contracts. For the most part we compare pretty good. It basically comes down to arguing over who has the nicest trailer in the trailer park. Get your time and move on.
