Just to be clear, skywest's attempt at ASAP will keep you from certificate action, but because you don't have a union, hence no contract, there is no MOU to protect you from punitive action. I've personally met two people that were fired from skywest for things that under a real ASAP program would have been protected.

Also, just to be clear, because of our work rules, I still make more money than my 70 seat non-union counterparts flying a 50 seater.

So, I have to ask just as my co-worker did earlier, what has skywest done for this industry? What if we were to say only union carriers that have paid dues are allowed to enjoy the fruits of their labor? CASS, Crew Pass, fatigue reform, SMS, among others will only be for those who paid for it. Seems a bit fair, after all; you guys have done nothing to advance the profession.
