Yet you said you would rather work for Hulas if XJT/Compass/TSA were on one list.....You just admitted that having a good CEO trumps union membership...Which is it?
Yes, I would make that sacrifice for the good of the regional industry because a combined TSA/Gojet/Compass/ASA/XJT pilot group would be good even with HK as CEO.

I also wouldn't want to work for our current CEO without an enforceable contract. After all, JA has an employment contract. Why shouldn't his pilots enjoy the same privilege he gives himself?

You think your life would be better working for Hulas than JO? Really?

Mesa got a single list with Freedom/Mesa/Air Midwest, but it didn't improve their pay and workrules.

Precisely why I said I would make that sacrifice. We are all better off for the sacrifice Mesa made when bringing freedom under one list.

Is it possible to get a LOA approved in ATL crj200 right now? If so can you come back early at anytime? As long as you show up before dequal everything is normal?

Well, predictably, you used my words out of context. That rant was directed at a DL pilot who feels all these "inefficient regional carriers" need to go away. Apples to oranges with what we're talking about. I never said SkyWest needs to go away.

And I addressed your premise #2 by correcting you that management has, in fact, named SkyWest Airlines as our chief competitor and told us the concessions are to match them. Items 1 and 3 were mere statements of opinion.

I must agree with JM here that if you think it would be worth working for Hulas or JO in order to get a combined list, you're a complete moron who hasn't looked at history, and is doomed to repeat it.
