Hope that extra $4k - $6k+ a year is worth it.

It's up to the pilots to make it worth the extra time and money. The only reason things got ANY better was because a bunch of us left. There is artificial leverage created by hiring conditions but at the end of the day, the BPC has no power and gets no respect from the company.

Now that you're alpa, get to work and make it something worth the effort. Respectfully, you're not skywest- you're out there flying mainline equipment ; have some respect for yourself

Breeze management is filing litigation against ALPA because they don’t want their pilots unionized. They would not be doing that if they thought having a pilot union would cost less.

And I really like the company response that if more pilots would have been allowed to vote the results would have been different.... Really, the senior captains voted it wasn't good enough, do you really think junior FOs are that much happier 😂🤦‍♂️?

That being said the dues money has *always* been worth it.

I can't really see DN pulling the plug, given his reputation. That being said, Breeze is the first carrier he's started since B6 that allows overselling so there's a first time for everything.
