On the other hand, Skywest is non-Union. However, they pay MORE than Unionized regional operators. That takes them out of that definition. Skywest pilots are welcome to ride my jumpseat.
Its only the guys who knowingly undercut my contract who can go pound sand. That means B6 and VX if they ever get a certificate.
