B. If you came to ASA post-SKYW then why didn't you get more time and apply to SKYW?

wow I don't even know how to react to this... You kind of sum up the attitude I believe is the downfall of the entire industry... oh the kool aide



Come on SKW has 13 lines in ATL, hardly a threat to your 600+ lines.

Kind of like how we have aircraft in SLC oh that's right, we shut that down! it wasn't cost effective to have us flying out there with only a few lines because our major base of ops was on the east coast. But hey SKYW in ATL makes total sense.



Everyone is telling us to vote union to gain protection from those types of policy changes, so honestly, what gives?

Honestly both pilot groups need to come together. I have been saying this for a long time. I don't believe it could result in anything but a better contract and end the whipsaw game. It would give us all protection against management and eachother.



You're right, PBS will reduce your staffing needs, but my QOL is much better with PBS. I bid for 8 consecutive days off every month so I can travel overseas and have yet to not be awarded it (sometimes as low as 60% in base, 90% among lineholders). You will dictate your schedule rather than the computer or scheduler who builds the hard lines.

I don't disagree that PBS is a good system especially the one that we would be getting. My reasons for voting no go deep to the principal of the matter and not PBS.



You're gonna find what you look for in life. If you think ASA is the red-headed step child then you're certain to find evidence everywhere that supports your theory, but I'd rather be at ASA than the majority of other regionals right now.[/QUOTE]

Right, just take what I can get and not try for better. The truth is you think we are the "Red headed step child", you clearly implied your feelings when you said earlier that I should have just applied to SKYW but was obviously under qualified and went to ASA.

The truth is that with people like you on either the ASA or SKYW side we will never be able to end the whipsaw game between the two groups. I hope for all of our sake that you don't represent all of SKYW.
