I know you have problems sticking to a specific item but the blanket statement was not true and I addressed a specific portion.

Also, see if you answer questions without having to use a quote. It saves time reading your dribble.
And I'm addressing a specific portion of your untrue blanket statement. Fact is that if you only take into account both contracts rates, matching funds, and B funds, the LXJT FO compensation is higher at all longevity years and the captain compensation doesn't catch up until 16 years longevity. Again, that doesn't account for the higher vacation accrual, higher sick accrual, higher per diem, better LTD, lower insurance premium caps.

How would that work for folks coming out of the military?

And is is it only ALPA they are trying to involve?

Military and Corporate exempt.. Any Union Carrier, not just ALPA, as I understand it. There's already language using percentages, this just ups the ante a little bit.

What does this mean for everyone at Skywest? Because they are non-union correct? Or am I not understanding this right?

It means absolutely nothing. This is just posturing. ALPA does not control hiring. Plenty of Skywest people getting hired and plenty will continue to.

Take it to the bank.

Of course it passed by 100%. Why wouldn't it? ALPA folks voting on something that excludes people not ALPA. This is one of the dumbest things I have heard of in quite a while. Waste of everyone's time.
