But wait, you'll miraculously change your ways (beliefs) when a union makes you $86,000/year (2nd year F/O pay), won't you?
Sell-out, or hypocrite if you prefer that term.
Kinda like the guy who see's a ugly girl walking down the street and makes fun of her with his buddies, but then gets caught getting a soaker from her in the backseat of his car one night. When she's doing something for you, she's not so ugly, is she?
So the name calling begins. Great I am dealing with another desperately misinformed poster.
Before you call me a sell-out or hypocrite, let me say you know nothing about me or my character. If you want to insult me, PM me. I will plainly share with you my reciprocal feelings.
If you took half a moment to review any of my posts on these threads over the years you will clearly see I am very much in favor of airline unions --- unions that are like SWAPA. I am very much against unions like ALPA. I have personally known several SWAPA pilots for more than 20 years. Yes, some of them are "chest-thumpers" to a certain degree. But when a pilot group/company can walk-the-walk, they have earned the right to talk-the-talk.
Go ahead, insult me again, call me a SWAPA "chest-thumper." I hate to tell you, but in my opinion, that is a compliment.
If you like ALPA, great. Good for you. I have no problem with you or any body who feels like ALPA is the agent they want to represent the future of their aviation career. I don't feel the same way.
Personally, nothing would make me happier than to have an in-house union at Skywest to represent our pilot group.
