I'd much rather work for a non-union company. I was with Skywest and loved it. Now that i'm with CAL, I have an even larger appreciation for how much better it is to work for a non-union carrier.
This is not the same SkyWest you left. You may look back with fond memories but today there's more stick than carrot. There's no longer a please and thank you for helping them squeeze a square peg through a round hole, just a stick waiting for you when you say no I’m unable. I hate to say it and it pains me but SkyWest is no longer SkyWest.
If anything this 1Q loss is more of an argument for one list one airline. There’s no reason to carry the cost of two separate carriers with overlapping operations (DEN, ORD, IAH, DIA, CLE, ATL, etc.).
