Point: Skywest hasn't set any bar and is happy enjoying the fruits of others.
Analysis: Here 24 is drawing a conclusion that the contract at Skywest (non-union) only exists in its current form due to the diligent efforts of unionized pilot groups, like Mesa. I'm making an assumption that this poorly veiled insult is disguised as "without Mesa's union and others like Mesa, Skywest would be in far worse condition."
Counter-point: Skywest is eating fruit. Mesa is eating rotten...something.
Analysis: Keeping with the theme of fruit, I chose to make a contract comparison between the unionized Mesa with non-unionized Skywest. Skywest's contract is superior to Mesa's in almost every single way even though they don't have a proper union. Mesa's contract is one of the worst in the industry across the board with the exception of line-guarantee. I purposely left it open-ended so that one could draw the conclusion that it is silly to say that the unionized group of Mesa and their "efforts" to raise the bar has lead to Skywest's far superior contract.

Mesa is buying their own 175 sim.
We do not own a CRJ sim and we have over 80 CRJs.
Take that for what it's worth.....

I'm sorry you are unable to comprehend simple analogies in a point/counter-point discussion. This is going to come across as patronizing but is clearly the only way you can understand.

The only fingers I've pointed were at some Skywest pilots who like to talk about how crappy certain regionals, like Mesa, are compared to the rest of the industry. When in reality Skywest really hasn't done anything to better the industry. Quite the opposite as they've enhanced managements whipsaw at Inc. Furthermore, to come on here and preach about how awesome they are when everything in their unenforceable handbook was given to them after it was negotiated by others, is just insulting.
Your statements above are the cheerleading of bottom feeders being referred to.
If you weren't so completely biased, you'd realize/admit that Skywest, Air Whisky, Horizon, and ASA/Expressjet have always been far better places of employment than your wife's employer. The pay, benefits, work rules and treatment of employees at J.O.s outfit have always lagged the above, even prior to the bankruptcy you use for an excuse.
