And for those who want us to "go drive a truck"...or just quit..or that kind of nonsense...

That's teh point of organizing. We are not bankers or truck drives. We can't leave a company everytime we disagree because when we do it is not a lateral move. We go to the bottom. It works for us and against us.

Voting for a union at SkyWest is NOT voting to stick it to Jerry. We like Jerry. We ARE happy. Voting for a union is our way of saying "we are not going to fly 737s for CRJ200 rates. We are not going to flow thru ATL if ASA strikes. This is too important to not have a voice in the process. We are making SkWest Incorp. millions each quarter without a voice and I say we have earned a right to be heard.

"being heard" means-helping choose our chief pilots (did you know the Chief pilots got thousand in raises in 2005-06), protection from unwarrented management disipline (and it is rampant at SkyWest), negotiate a living wage (Holt won't even talk about pay raises...but he will as the vote gets closer), enforce/create safty measures..(how many SW pilots have flown 4 legs w/o a break only to hear a gate agent/ramper/CS bark..."hurry its a quick turn". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? A RAMPER BARKING ORDER TO A CA? BUT HOLT ALLOWS IT!)
