Which airline wasn't offering the best schedule, most pay and everything else before 9/11???

It is a little misleading to try to persuade someone to support ALPA because the airline said we will do everything we can to be the best airline before 9/11. EVERY legacy carrier before 9/11 was trying to top the other with their pay scales, and then 9/11 hit, where was the protection? ALPA isn't going to get SkyWest any better contract than what we can't get on our own. The luxury of a strike and a magazine is just going to make matters worse. Considering what we have without a union speaks for itself considering how our "contract" is much better than the majority of other carriers out there, including many ALPA carriers.
