WOW that ALPA KOOL-AID sounds GOOOOOOD.. Its amazing ALL the SkyWest PILOT GROUP HATER-AID you are spewing out, yet you want us to join the ALPA ranks... thanks for helping out the minority at SkyWest that actually want to join the "group" and start a drive.

I just laugh at people that like you that look at SkyWest as some coat riding scum, yet keep saying that if SkyWest was ALPA or union then maybe would could be considered an equal. Yes we at SkyWest need to at least get SAPA certified, but to say that we are nothing at that we have accomplished NOTHING to the industry is flat out wrong. What about all those pilots that left ALPA regionals to come work here BY CHOICE? So I guess all those at MESA MEC in their last contract brought a big feeling of PRIDE to the industry.

For example, who has been one of the leading voices to get UAL to honor the UAX priority for jumpseaters? Yup our SkyWest Sapa Pres...
What about working together with the CAL ALPA MEC to report scope violations with flying CAL routes. Again our SAPA pres.
So lay off on the crap that SkyWest pilots haven't at least tried to improve the industry when we can. Sure makes even the best ALPA supporter to rethink wanting to support an ALPA drive when all we hear is we at SkyWest have done NOTHING to improve the industry. Plus I am sure that there has NEVER been a time that an ALPA regional has looked at what we have for work rules and used it in their negotiations.

Besides, I do love how everyone is so friendly and thankful for rides while working for a fellow ALPA regional or major, and yet think all we are is a second rate pilot group that brings nothing to the industry.

HEY ALPA.... TFAYD
