Nope. Based in DTW. Don't get to go to any of those cities... And I haven't had a MSP overnight in a LONG time.

I don't know where goaround got his information, but I have had it confirmed by two separate members of the ASA MEC...It got quite ugly....

This isn't unusual really...The CAL and UAL MECs are starting to air their dirty laundry in public...How about USAIR/AWA or AirTran/SWA?

Why do you find it surprising? or Why are you trying to make it go away?

You must be a new hire.. Or you're one of those spiky hair entitled sky gods, or both. You know very little, yet you speak as if you do. Like someone posted earlier, you don't know what you don't know.

It seems to me, and most other observers of this business, that your house was the one that was not in order and it was the company you mock that has wiped up your mess. Instead of being thankful, you bite the hand that helps you. XJT was not going to be around much longer and no serious person can say otherwise with a strait face.

When there is a payroll conflict at SW, most of the guys pick up the phone and talk with payroll. Simple. Efficient. If you can't reach an agreement, a form is filled out and the reps take it to the next step to get resolution.

Now I'm not pretending there aren't issues at SW, particularly in the disciplining arena. But, there are dozens and dozens of policies that have been negotiated quickly and efficiently to the mutual benefit of both the company and the pilots. .

To the original question, one list, one independent union, limited fences for a year or so.

I wouldn't find this surprising by any means and I have no reason to care if it goes away.

GoAround threw that little tidbit out there and then chose not to address it. I questioned his credibility because he chose to ignore my requests for details multiple times.

Unfortunately I feel like I'm on my own side in all of this, which isn't good for any of us.

Pot, meet kettle. When you posted this in another thread;

Not only was it inflammatory, it was flat out ignorant.

When you do that, it makes it hard to see things the way SKW people do and kind of alienates people :rolleyes:

Don't assume one junior guy represents every crewmember in this company!:rolleyes:

I care about fences. I chose to work at SkyWest because I wanted to live out west. I have no interest in "one list" if there is no provision for domicile protection. Last thing I want is sell my house and move.

If you want one list, then the ASA/XJT will have to make the legal case to the NMB. Otherwise, the only other way is for Skywest pilots to unionize. Then there might be a possibility. Until then, its moot since JA seems to always use the "my pilots don't want a union" card.

By the way, not having fences does NOT mean that you will be displaced. There has to be a vacancy for a pilot to bid into any aircraft, base, and seat. That is your base (and aircraft and seat) protection. You cannot be forced out of your base, aircraft, or seat. People need to educate themselves a little before saying things that are not true.

Im gona move to Utah and make beer and sell it to you guys. Hey, do you guys drink beer?

This is a waste of time this thread just like me trying to sell you guys beer.

You guy need to forget SW and focus on our contract.

Exactly...
