That is truly the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Other regionals would like to see Skywest unionize so that they can get pay for larger airplanes that is in line with what it should be so that it won't put downward pressure on their wages.

I can't believe anyone would WANT to fly for less money so that they could be more competitive. Somehow you think that will get you a faster upgrade and then, I assume a job at the majors faster, right? Wake up! Because you fly a larger airplane for small plane wages there is less need for major flying, reducing the jobs that will be available to you in the future. Further it not only puts downward pressure on other regional's wages but also downward pressure on major airlines' wages, too. So the very jobs that you're aspiring to attain by working for pennies, thinking that you'll really have it good when you get there faster, won't pay squat when you get there! Nice job!

You're not just hurting your competition with that strategy, you're hurting yourself, now AND in the future.
