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.
V(dumba**),
If you're so angry about professional people undercutting other professional people with the discriminating factor being unionization or not, please don't limit your hatred, put your efforts into the public forum to push for the prosecution of employers that hire illegal aliens, and those aliens that take jobs from Americans. Get off the 'Union' bandwagon. You seem to condem anyone that depresses
your wages. So why aren't you on the path fighting illegals depressing American wages? Answer: 'cuz it's not your wages and you want to get your "lawn mowed for $4/hr".
You are so self-centered and hypocritical that you are definitely in the 1% that every pilot group has. The ones we wish that we could get rid of but can't because of the 'union'.
