I don't know why so many at SKW are so anti-ALPA. Alpa, while not perfect, has some big benefits. I'm not referring to pay and QOL isuues alone here.

If you have an incident, who is going to send in the lawyers to defend you when you are named personally in an injury case?

When you have a heart attack, who is going to have the resources to help you get your medical reinstated? You can substitute any other medical issue for heart attack.

ALPA does far more than fight for better compensation and work rules. I don't agree with everything ALPA national, or my local MEC for that matter, does, but overall I am happy with the product I receive.

By the way, what is the future of PPO health insurance at sky west?
