Good to know. Hopefully we can vote this down with a resounding NO.

I've been having some long sits in dfw lately due to the wx and there has been plenty of discussion about the TA. I haven't seen many of the super senior ca's out here this week but all the mid to lower seniority ca's and fo's are NO votes.

Hopefully all the fear mongering and threats won't change any minds.

Don't know about the Atl dtw and iAd sides of the house.

I just figured we have more senior pilots in those two bases that would be inclined to vote yes.

MEC or all LEC reps?

Can someone clarify who exactly voted to send this to the two pilot groups. Everything I have seen points to an MEC vote, but this is only three guys on the ASA side. Was it their vote alone, or did elected reps get a say as well?

Time to fire ALPA and start a new inhouse SKYW/Expressjet/ASA union. I wish you guys nothing but unity and strength. Whatever you guys decide on, if you take concessions our company will use that in our negotiations and make us at least match yours.. so I hope you guys and girls stay strong.

Like someone else said on here, remember... No regional can replace 'our' (SkyWest Inc.) flying... United and Delta would go crazy in days if all 7200 of us decided enough is enough...

I also pray Xjters vote this piece of junk down. Stand strong!

Remove the SkyWest pilots from your equation. That will never happen.

Everyone on here, and other boards, are the vocal minority that are always going to be ****ed off no matter what was in this TA. I predict it will pass with a slim margin. 50-60% both sides.

Under normal circumstances I would tend to agree with you. But having looked at this TA, why would I be in any hurry to vote for something that has an adverse affect on my quality of life? That just doesn't make sense.

Let me underscore that: There are virtually NO improvements in this contract.
