I jumped into your discussion with another poster on this thread regarding the idea of joining the two groups. My only point was that the only way I personally would ever consider joining ASA pilots with Skywest pilots is to get rid of ALPA first.

An independent union may or may not ever come to Skywest. I hope it does materialize some day sooner than later. I can say quite confidently though, that as long as ASA is ALPA, the majority of Skywest pilots will not support integrating with them.

Personally I am generally happy with the way Skywest management treats us and we treat them. We have a good working relationship with St. George. Granted, Skywest is far from perfect. There is always room for improvement. Again, just my opinion, one pilot, but having ALPA represent all our pilots would be a MAJOR step backwards, NOT forwards.
