I can see there is plenty of Kool-Aid over at SkyWest. You must've been one that voted out ALPA.
I catch your drift here..
Cant wait to see a certain Utah based company acquire the -1000's and ultimately keep the pay the same for -700, -900, and -1000 while supplying mainline with 100+ jets at a fraction of the cost. Great way to keep the pilot group healthy isn't it? Hope you enjoy SKYW enough to stay there for the rest of your life.

Very well said! I work at SkyWest and it amazes me when people have his mentality. But it's cool, because he is going to get his 1000 PIC and get hired at FedEx and be making 100,000 the week after hitting that magic 1000

Over a year ago my pilot group voted in a BS pay proposal that wasn't even worth the paper it was written on (I obviously voted NO). It was good through 2011 but Mgmnt has now decided that they want to pay us more and is currently working to increase all of our rates by Jan 1st. Now show me another airline that would no that. They obviously don't have too but they WANT too. Not SWA, UPS or any other airline for that matter would think about such a gesture of good well until after their contract had expired. Yes the pay won't be what it should be but we’ll just have to keep working until it is and I’m in this industry for the long haul. Are you or are you going to whine and then cut and run?[/QUOTE]
HAHA yeah, ASA sheds the blood sweat and tears and skywest rides the coattails, they're only increasing your rates because ASA just fought for better! don't worry we will keep fighting for better and all you guys can just benefit from it! one day, it will come back to you, I promise one day they will stiff you and ASA pilot's will say we told you so. Skywest Inc's full intent is to make the two groups stand against eachother so skywest will never have a union and it sure seems to work when i hear things like this. Skywest's "goodwill" is a function of need, they need more people and they want to keep there pilot's no union. Hey if their sister carrier is making more then the pilot's might want a union to help them... anyways

Pilots drown themselves through supporting labor practices of certain airlines. You should know that.
I dont support certain "fellow brethren". Should I support guys at GoJet, Skybus, Virgin, TSA, or any other airline that accpets sub par everything in exchange to be called a pilot? We make our own beds.

The profanity filters prevent me from telling you exactly what I think of you. However, I can say that the opinion of somebody who puts TSA and GoJet in the same category is worth approximately as much as what I just flushed down the toilet.

BTW, for all those who have short term memory, I voted YES for the 1000th time.
Now spin it. Say I'm drinking Kool-Aid! That I'm Mgmnt!

[/QUOTE]No man i know you aren't infact i think you were the one who wanted the union the most on this forum. It just frustrates me the majority of the pilots at skywest think management is their best friends, It kills me that ASA gets just a little better and skywest will be matched, if both groups worked together we could get the best contract in the industry but ASA will only be able to get so much without you guys working with us, and trust me you will always get the raise after we do.

As for the raise, no we will get a BS little raise to keep us non union and then a matching raise after we vote it down. Sad!
