It works for OO because regional compensation is determined by market forces, not collective bargaining. OO can keep the union away mainly by creating a positive climate, not blatantly ripping their pilots off, and paying them what they were going to have to pay them anyway, union or not.
I know a couple OO managers (including a very senior one) who would actually prefer to have ALPA... that way they could totally disconnect the pilots from the other employees, then blame the pilots for being greedy if the market dictates increased compensation. I tend to agree with that, but of course there's a deeply-rooted anti-union culture in those parts.

Yeah a bunch of OO 15 year CA/Check Airman, probably living in SLC. They’re doing the 195 sim training at Flight safety in MCI. Briefing office right down the hall from OO’s. All the Sim instructors seem to know each other on both sides. They make it sound like at least half the Breeze new hire pilots are senior SkyWest CAs.
It’s my understanding the first new hire’s on property were not being compensated for months, but guaranteed some type of stock options (don’t know the specifics).

No, it's all true. I'm hearing from many who recently interviewed and had a follow up meeting that the seat lock is pretty off-putting and likely a deal breaker. The day trip thing is what it is.. not unlike allegiant, it would not be good for commuters, period. The A220 will be commutable as far as I know, but with that 3yr seat lock, it doesn't really matter and that's kind of the problem.

Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black
We all know how you feel about AA. Ok, I'm going to saunter back over to my side of the fence now
