Just musing here but after reading someone's comment in the Skywest thread about "chess moves", I would like to posit that maybe SKW is counting on us balking at the currently offered TA and buying into the SKW TA. If that's done, even without a single list, what's to stop them from integrating OCC's? Training Centers etc.? Would a SOC be required for that much integration? Honest questions gentlemen.

Flame bait much? I refuse to feed the troll. The only reason why you're back here is because they ran you off the fb page.

What is everyone's opinion on the SkyWest agreement vs the current TA?

And is it something we could live with for a year or 2? By then all the CPA's would have been settled (according to mgt), pilot shortage in full force and we could go after big gains.

Dunno. Interesting proposition for sure.

A lot of the Qol perks we have would go away. It's not a better contact than even the TA.

That reaches the end game more swiftly than begging for cpa. Force UNITED to make the decision on how to handle this (tight pilot supply, do you want your airplanes to move or not?) because right now they think they can make Skywest handle it for them. Skywest is United middle management, whether we see this or not will determine how successful we are. We could be quite successful if we care to see the truth.
