And there you have it. Counselor (in his mocking and condescending "smartest guy in the room" style) wants to create an independent "union" like we had with AAPAG before we voted IBT in. A student council that's controlled by management and only serves the top 25%. SAPA at G4. How'd that work out over there for those of you who left SkyWest?

And get this! He's CONFIDENT you can have a union vote "at some later date after the agreement is signed" (damage is already done) and THE COMPANY WON'T INTERFERE!!!

[Give me a minute to stop laughing]

Yeah okay guys. Follow this guy off the cliff. Vote your union out and trust the same management that sent contract pamphlets home to your spouses and bypassed your union. The company that has wontonly disregarded every agreement they have ever made. How's that PBS working out? Still got the HDMWDs??? Dont'cha love Larry's Limo (Hyundai) on 3 hour jaunts? Or take this rental car to FLL and then fly a double. Contract? Involuntary TDY for 8 months. WHAT CONTRACT? You can trust them! They always do what's best for the employees!

Bye now. I'm sure it's time for your next meeting over there at FordHarrison Esquire.

But I'm not going to continue to engage further with this guy. I got him to admit his true intentions. You decide if you want him "representing" you. I'd say stay with Teamsters until you get the contract done and then switch to ALPA.

Best of luck
