So facts matter, we had the pay new rates at SkyWest sent to SAPA by management in June, 3 days later AA dropped those pay rates to the WO’s their publicly, no vote was conducted by those ALPA regionals. SAPA sent the first contract from June back to management with QOL improvements. A few months later, which was a few days ago SkyWest dropped their TA with QOL improvements the a day later Mesa dropped their new pay rates.
What I believe we are witnessing is pattern bargaining initiated by Management groups because regionals will fail and one(s) left still standing will have monopoly.
