I'd have a hard time saying that seeing as how Tony was a SAPA rep and was rabidly anti-ALPA during his time as a Skywest crewmember. The very organization/contract he fought against could have saved his career at Skywest. Now, he's got a job in Yemen and he's looking here at APC for advice on checklists. You reap what you sow....
For the record. I think up or out is dumb. Anyone who fails training should get to go back to his last seat for a time. Unions help negotiate these sort of things.
I can't believe you're a mod, I don't post here much anymore, but I thought the mods held themselves to higher standards than us lowly RJ pilots. Don't kick a man when he's down. I'm fairly certain that cruel irony hasn't been lost on him, and being the guy in the background yelling, "I told you so!" is never cool.
Interesting side note, I'm a SkyWest pilot, and I can't stand this policy, HOWEVER, I would say a far greater number of pilots than I would've thought at SkyWest support this policy. That's especially true of our pilots that are in the left seat already. Sad but true.
