Ohhhhh
I do and I do know very well
What is happening with Pro standards and SKW new hires

Is this the rumor that the Skywest new hires are constantly questioning the CA's authority?

Well there’s a lot of Mesa guys with apps in tell them to give us the SKW spots

Jumpseat war!!!
However, one side has more to lose than the other... I used to get into arguments with UA pilots at my air medical office over having priority on our own metal. That by itself is egregious and disgustingly spoiled for them to ever think that is ok.
The real issue and power struggle is that you want their job. Place yourself in a position where their job is no longer desirable and jumpseating is no longer needed, and you remove all of their power. However, at the end of the day, people just want to keep their job, earn a paycheck, and see their loved ones.

Good luck telling an ALPA pilot not to take another ALPA pilot on their jumpseat. The SkyWest pilots are sending a loud and clear message and people are listening. Recruiters, HR, etc... They’re listening.

Go back to your SAPA social club and sort this out. Leave the problem solving to the pilot groups who’s dues have fought and paid for the niceties you enjoy.

Weren’t you one of the 2014/2015 hires at PSA? That new hires that went to fly new shiny jets for a concession? And you’re preaching about union unity? ALPA sold out the PSA pilots, and totally screwed over the Eagle ALPA pilots. Talk about a disgrace. Your ALPA dues haven’t fought for anything.

Look what our ALPA dues got us now. Jokes on you. How’s that United contract renewal going?

PSA sold out their Allegheny and Piedmont brothers whollyowns
Back in 1996 for a price of RJs over a 12 hour close door session
I am sure you were at Junior high back then so ask a senior pilot there if there is one.
PSA has no room to talk about unity I may say

The funny thing about our contract 2013 is that it gave us SAP and our critical pay language. SAP is hands down the best quality of life tool pilots enjoy anywhere in this industry and our original critical pay language (before the arbitrator weighed in) made us the highest paid regional at the time. Not to mention PSA was around 500 pilots back then. There was no leverage then (just like you have no leverage now). When I went to PSA I didn’t have a clue about 121. I went where I could easily commute to since we weren’t in a position to move. And given what I know now I still wouldn’t have chose differently.

SkyWest has directly benefitted from the money and efforts of ALPA pilots. And you have given nothing in return except for wasting ALPA dues on the laughable attempts to unionize.

It’s funny how so many SkyWest pilots spew this nonsense. “ALPA hasn’t done anything for regionals”. You couldn’t be more mistaken. And you couldn’t be more ill-informed about what exactly it is that ALPA does.
